Re: Stolen ZL-1
Was there ever a question as to if these vehicles were stolen due to the fact that the ZL1's were so slow moving units from a sales standpoint. Four ZL1's taken at one time sounds like they may have wanted to get rid of them because of the cost of paying interest or floorplan on them.
Just a thought, I certainly am not trying to condem a dealer that may still be in business.

Re: Stolen ZL-1
Tim, the dealer in question is no longer is business, I will never forget the radio and tv song, "Gene Merollis, What A Great Great Guy..." The question you raised is a very valid one that should have been asked a long time ago...

Re: Stolen ZL-1
Great guy or Great goodfella, it reminds me a bit of a story I heard years ago of a racer who ripped off a dealer and come to find out the guy he ripped off wasnt the kind of fella you went around stealing from. The only reason I found this out is because I was trying to find the guy because he was a
previous owner of one of my cars. The guy left town and I couldn't find a trace of him. The person telling me the story said he ripped off the wrong people and if they found him he'd be wearing cement shoes. Don't know if it was true or not but I never could track him down. I don't think all car dealers are connected but you'd think a block or trans with a vin would have surfaced by now unless they were never suppose to. Make a great pulp fiction story if someone knew a little more. Even back in 69 I think alot of people knew how much the engines were worth. I wonder if the blocks were decked or wound up in speed boats... really makes you think...
