Here's an article about the car from a book on Otis Chandler's collection. Sorry about the crappy quality, my phone makes it super difficult to get decent pics when there are larger pics and text on the same page.

A friend of mine has owned the car for 7 + years. There were two JL8 Z28's delivered to Case Cole Cheverolet in Bradford, Pa (home of zipo lighters). I owned the garnet red car which I purchased in 2001.

The story goes, the orange car was ordered first, but the red car was delivered before the orange car. The person who ordered orange car asked/ requested a swap and purchased the red car. The dealership added a vinyl top to finalize the deal. The purchaser of the orange car was Eliseo IIRC.

thanks for posting all the pictures and info!

Also, how this PA ordered car ended up in the same Illinois town as Ken Barnhart"s orange 69 ZL1 is pretty cool of all things, would not doubt he even saw the car back in the day rolling around.

Might have even gone into Ken's gas station to fuel up! Great story, thanks for sharing.
