Charley, I gave the body to a man named John Carmody (sp ???) in Seattle area around 1976/77. I can not say for certain WHAT happened to that body hulk. Wish I had pictures, but don't. I do have a print pic of #27 ZL-1 as I picked up from Porlier's storage and misc pics being raced at Seattle Int'l but have never scanned into digital format.

This was body of Original #27 that had floors cut out with roll cage, back half frame installed by Thayne Porlier's Tacoma, WA race car fab shop in 1976. This unauthorized (by me) floor butchering, is what resulted in a law suit, recovery of the #27 from Porlier's impound, and the subsequent parting out.

There are many people in the Seattle area that remember the car, and some of the the facts..........including Jerry Valentine long time NHRA Tech official.

Many have known about this for a long time as Chuck has been honest & has shared this info before. Wonder if it was kept secret from bidders or did Mecum advised everyone & that's why it bid low.

There was a man by that name in Franklin Park (western PA) that owned a restaurant around that time. Same man or relation, might be worth asking?
