Bob Longstreth/MI
 

Anyone here acquainted with him? Contact info?

He worked at Merollis Chevrolet back in the day. He posted comments in Hemmings
Muscle Machines about the stolen ZL-1 story. His recollection is quite different from the legend passed down over the years.

As the de facto ZL-1 Camaro historian, I would like to hear more.

Anyone have contact info?

Bill, I appreciate you researching and documenting these historically significant 69 ZL1's. If members could spread the word that William is requesting information it may provide a lead moving this project forward!!!

Thanks Steve!

Just typed his name into Facebook and this is the first thing that popped up.

The legend had all five Merollis ZL-1s being stolen. Looks to be only two, on separate occasions. Since forever, #11 has been the only Merollis survivor. #24 was once registered, reported as scrapped 1973.

Could be another one out there, waiting to be found.

Emailed him; TBD.

Heard from Bob. Great job everyone!

Nice!

Iv got a close friend that’s into cars pretty good that worked and retired from Merollis Chevrolet on Gratiot. He worked the body shop for years. Ill have to invite him over to the site. Maybe he can share his knowledge on the missing ZL1’s from Merollis

That would be great!

The Merollis cars were five different colors. We know about the silver one; Bob knew about two others. Hoping he can recall which they were.

I just sent Johnny a text with a link. See if he shows up !
