427 Camaro Z11 from Dale Chevrolet, Dales Dusters?

[William]

Having grown up nearby I am familiar with Dale Chevrolet. In my opinion Dale should be right up there with Berger, Nickey, Scuncio. They had 2 Gibb ZL-1s, L72 Camaros, JL-8 Z/28s. The only 427 transplants I know of are 1 '68 Nova and possibly another '69. They always had a large selection of HP Chevs in stock, new and used and were active in drag racing. Few of Dales cars seem to have survived. It is unusual to see one even around here.

BTW they were not a Yenko dealer until 1970. Most of the Yenko cars in the Milwaukee area came from Yunker in Oconomowoc. Humphrey Chev was a Yenko dealer for '67.

Dale closed in '75 or so; now a food store.

I have a case of Sports Dept 45 records addressed to Dale, they must have been passing a ton of these out in 69...or not...LOL

Many of Dales' HP cars received an additional badge that looked similar to the Z/28 rocker cover sticker. I think it had "Dale Chev Sports Dept" on it; something like that.
