Black Trash Z-11

Found this really cool pic of the Black Trash Z11 over on the HAMB...

Does anyone know the fate of this car? Was it wrecked? Does it still exist? I love his tow rig!

The car was being towed to a collection in Washington state sometime in the 70s. They encountered a snow storm and the car was crashed...on a tow bar. The fellows stripped the car of parts and left the car in either western Kansas or eastern Colorado. Parts still exist. Bob Piaok reportedly has the motor

Sad to hear!! Whomever bought the car should have just asked Mr. Cooley to deliver it on his flatbed! Thank you for the history Russ.

Phil I know it has an auluminum front end and have touched the car personally as it's like 5 miles from me on display, just wondered what z11 car it came off of or where they extra ones?

These aluminum Monaco Blue fenders were originally on Bill Connell's Z-11 and later Jack Cooley's Black Trash car which ended up in John Mounts collection in WA. Don Shaffer brought them back and I put them on the Living legend in 1988.
