John Mahler was certainly "in the know" - to say the least - when he ordered that ZL1, if this is the same John Mahler who piloted the Owens-Corning L88:

Hello Tracker1,
The John W. Maher is the person who had the 1969 Orange ZL-1.
The photo of the co driver is John Mahler.
The spelling is different of the 2 names.
Regards,
Drew

More than one recent source lists it as Mahler. The Penn Garage invoice is possibly a misspelling of his name.

Hello Tracker1,
I see your source of the the spelling the name in the magazine.
I see the name on the dealers invoice.
I think the magazine misspelled the last name from the writer of the story
The dealer invoice has the correct spelling.
Thank you,
Drew

Not sure why the tank sticker of the Orange ZL1 has the actual RPO ZL1 code listed. My understanding is it should be L88, as Judski's yellow car is - but I have to go find my pics of the Judski tank sticker to make sure

Please take this in the spirit it was written, personally I have no dog in the fight, don't care if there were seven or two ZL1's. Do care that facts are facts and can't or shouldn't be changed.

Attached here are two dealer invoices same car? with the same signatures?, dates, and invoice numbers but different dollar values and terminology.

Draw your own conclusion.

You are correct in that John's last name is Maher
