Re: Fred Gibb trademark ZL 1
I just picked up a vintage 1969 mag. It shows a ZL 1 camaro, & it has a ZL 1 emblem in the grille. Was that standard on these cars? I'm a firebird guy.

Re: Fred Gibb trademark ZL 1
That has to be that well-photographed black with gold trim GM press car. I want to say it had four wheel disc brakes and a lower compression ratio for street driving. De-tuned a little for street use compared to the radicalness (is that a word?) of the regular 69 ZL-1 race cars. Shame it never made production. Martin Schorr released a book back in the eighties that had several pictures of it.

Re: Fred Gibb trademark ZL 1
Seems to me that if DP had been a better driver/businessman, he wouldn't have to leach others' fame. Yes, I know it's not all one persons doing, that's just the opinion I've come to from the feel of all this. Hell, I could be wrong!

Re: Fred Gibb trademark ZL 1
I have always been under the impression that Dale Pulde is considered one of the top funny car drivers of all-time. Schumacher Racing continues to use him to test their Funny Cars.
I am not familiar with his business dealings and or business sense.

Re: Fred Gibb trademark ZL 1
I think he was. Who knows what the motive is for stealing the Gibb name... Can't be big money in t-shirts and key chains...they must just have it in for Helen .

Re: Fred Gibb trademark ZL 1
That was a bit of a rip on DP. Sure, I know who he is (was), I grew up back then. He tests
 , he doesn't get a full ride. His name isn't above the 'door'! Who is he now? He's Dick Harrells' daughters' "boyfriend"!!!  (Hope they don't sue me for using Dickies'name!)
