No contact with the dealers. That was work performed by the Cincinnati Zone. 'The Cincinnati Zone used to be called the Norwood Zone when the zone offices were based at the Chevrolet offices at the plant, but by 1969 those offices were off site.

The ZL-1 return cars were inventoried for damage and were inspected by finance personnel. This guy inventoried the returned GIBB ZL-1's.

"It took Forever for the Zone to get rid of those cars."

As an aside, 10 years ago I did interview Bob Ruck (then 88 years old) who was in charge of both the Norwood Zone and the later Cincinnati Zone during the time period of interest.

He gifted all of his remaining Zone information to me along with some wonderful stories on demo cars he had to drive as the Zone manager including his experiences with the early Z/28.

Bob Passed 6 months after we spoke.
