Dyno Don Z-11

[troublemaker427]

I've been going through some old threads and saw that some of the remains of Dyno's Z-11 may survive? I saw that a Scott Cornwell in MI. "rebodied" the car some time ago. Does anyone have anymore information or current photos of the this car?

Does anyone have any information about Schartman's "Jackshaw" car? I always heard this was an "over the counter" car built from a six cylinder Impala and not a factory Z-11?

Also, I saw where Rusty Symmes had written some sort of booklet about Z-11 history but it was never widely published. Does anyone know how I could obtain a copy of this?

Thanks guys..

Scott had that car back in 1994 when I bought my block from him. I heard he had finished it but nothing else. I did get to hold the bumper and it was light.

I think he said they are going to bury it with his ashes on the front seat.

Thanks guys..

I've talked with the owner of this car several times. Do you want to talk with him about it's history Jody? If so, PM me your phone number and after Great bend...I will call him and give your number to him. I just don't want to give out anyone's number without their permission.

Mr Dick....you may have the wrong guy. This Reed is spelled Phil, not Phill. Not sure.

I thought it was Phil Read. I feel like such a tool!

Let's not muck up Jody's thread.

 

[troublemaker427]

Thanks Phil. So I assume the Jackshaw car survived?

 

[Phil Reed]

Yes

 

[Doctor 64]

Yes, Jack Shaw/Earl Evans car survives. My best guess from first hand review appears it started out as 250hp 4spd Impala, factory htr. delete.
Scott's car is a tribute car. Very well done body and paint work. Scott is an excellent painter. He knew Dyno very well and received his blessing to do the build. Original Dyno Z11 was wrecked.
...other Jody

Thanks for the great info guys.

Does any current day photos exist of the Dyno or Schartman car exist? Can someone maybe post them?

I spoke to Nicholson a few times back in 1997 about the Z-11. He never thought much of that car and favored the '62 Bel Air much more and felt it ran stronger than the Z-11. He sold the Z-11 to a black contractor in '64 who per Nicholson, wrecked it a dragstrip in Atlanta which was made of gravel more than anything. The car was rolled a few times supposedly. The yellow '62 B/FX aluminum nose Impala he won with at the '62 Indy nats he sold to Hubert Platt called the Bounty Hunter. Hubert ran this car briefly before purchasing a Z-11 from John Hollingsworth later named the Georgia Shaker.

 

[Doctor 64]

I love the interview pic of Dyno! I do not recall seeing that one before.

 

[Tom Kochtanek]

Would that be the same John Hollingsworth now residing in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas? Probably in his 70s or 80s now?

Best,

John Hollingsworth was out of Goldsboro NC at the time he owned and raced the Z-11. Car was delivered through Cobb Chev.
