Default What ever happened to???

I dont know if it has ever been discussed hereBut I was curiois to know of what ever happened to 2 very potentially valuavble Camaros both of which I am assuming might have been destroyed.

The first was the Mitchell 1970 ZL1 powered protoype car.
The second is Grumpy's toy number 7.A car which sems to exist in only a few pictures back in 1970.

The Mitchell ZL1 car was apparently in his possession for a number of years and given an 'updated' (read: ugly, in my opinion) look in around '77. There was a thread discussing the car in the past 2 years. I'll try to post the pics tomorrow if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Grumpy's Toy VII was the full bumper, black trimmed L-88 hooded car pictured on the cover of a '70 issue of SS/DI magazine I believe (?).
That one was apparently a "show" car and never actually campaigned. One of the members of this site bought what is presumed to be the hood off of that car a few years back. I forgot who it was but maybe he'll chime in here.
