Wish the owner who bought Jack Bayer's Z-11 Impala in 1979 was smart enough to know this. Some Z-11's had heaters and deadening and some didn't. The Jack Bayer Z-11 did, I asked Jack Bayer about the heater and he said he ordered it on the Z-11 to draw heat from the motor during rounds. The owner who ended up with his Z-11 thought it was not a real Z-11 because of the sound deadening and heater & removed the aluminum and 427 and scrapped the body in Yuba city CA in 1980.
His A$$ is still sore from kickin his self. 
can't read anymore 
A good friend of mine went to see Jack Bayer's Z-11 in 1976 in northern California for the sum of $1,200, it was at a wrecking yard and the owner knew he had something special. This was a strong running and driving car with pin straight sheet metal and complete from the Z-11 air cleaner down to QM 427 block ,vented backing plates and Monaco blue paint. He passed on it since he wanted a '62 Bel air hardtop 409 car instead. The car sat for a few years until owner that parted it out bought it, heard he also bought a '57 chevy factory fuelie sedan delivery with 3-speed he bought for the drivetrain only at the same time as the Z-11 and you can guess what happened to that body also.
thanks will save it for the impala michael
