Chevy took back about 37 Gibb ZL1s for re-assignment to other dealers. Some of those re-assignments were recorded in the file Vince Piggins had when he provided the VINs to Super Chevy magazine in 1981. Although Hauser Chev in PA received two re-distributed Gibb ZL1s [#4 & #43] they were not listed. However, Hauser placed several ads for the cars in local newspapers establishing their presence.
Before that, Gibb was able to unload a few directly to other dealers. Those were unknown to Chevrolet until sold, at which time the sale card was returned.
It is apparent that some of the subsequent dealers were also not able to sell their ZL1s and moved them on to other dealers. The December 1969 Competition Press lists a new automatic ZL1 Camaro at Dave Hallman Chev, Roanoke VA. Another May 1969 ad lists ZL1 Camaros available at Fairway Chev/Buick, Reedsport OR. Neither dealer is known to have sold any ZL1s.
It is entirely possible Queen City had one they didn't sell and it moved on to another dealership. Should you locate a VIN or an ad describing the car, I will include Queen City in the ZL1 body of knowledge.
