For what this is worth.........
I bought a 20mm Finnish cannon from a guy in Cleveland area, Neal Smith, several years ago. He had a picture of Eddie Shartmans Z-11 car on the wall in his office. He apparently owned it after Shartman......was that Jackshaw Chevy dealer???
I raced against a red one several times about 8-10 years ago. His Chevy pal is Ronnie Evans from NJ?? Evans had a '62, we chased around together in a now defunct nostalgia match race circuit. Z-11 owner name may have been Bill Burge??
In the '70s, Ralph ??? from Pomeroy, Ohio, had an original car that may have belonged to Malcolm Durham??? It was missing one cylinder head. He offered to sell it to Tim Bailey just up the road for $3500. Bailey turned it down on the strength of the fact that he was aftraid he wouldnt be able to find a head!!!!
J C Moore of Kansas City had an original car. I used to know who the original owner was but can no longer remember. Moore is dead, motorcycle got him. I have pictures of the car and engine stuff he once sent me. His wife no longer remembers what happened to the car after his death.
In 1976, I bought the Royal Pontiac '63 Swiss cheese frame Catalina, one of 14, a lower production number than even the '63 Chev Z-11. 13 are known. Later I got Mickey Thompsons '63 car. I had two at one time, first and second ones mfgrd. Too stupid to keep them, I built a new house in the '80s and sold the cars, paid for the house which is now worth about 1/4 what either of those cars is. I also bought one of the few aluminum front end non Swiss Cheese frame '63 Pontiacs from a junk yard for $300. Several of these were used for Pikes Peak racing. Hows that for a bargain???............once again stupidity reared its ugly head; it had no title so I got rid of it asap. Some years ago I sold most of a '63 Pontiac aluminum front end for $30,000. The guy had a legitimate car but the aluminum was gone. Now he has a $400,000. car.
Only thing I have left is two of the aluminum front end '62 Pontiac factory drag race cars, there were 180 mfgd. Kind of 'old hat'......Everybody has one of them, nothing special!!!!!!
Picture take in late 2002..........I think!!!
