Some Z-11 history
- Thread starter 63409
- Start date
Number of Z-11s
Phil Reed most likely knows. I remember seeing about 11 of them all in one place back in 2004 in KC. Phil put that together. I guess it really depends on what you are calling a "Z-11". There are some 1962 "service package" Z-11 top ends and aluminum front clips out there (i.e., Patt and Rusty's '62 Belair Sport Coupes) and there are some fully documented 1963 Z-11s out there (Phil knows the list of those).
Then there are some neat "tribute" cars, like the one from Illinois that raced at Thompson last year, and the one Donny Shaffer runs. If I recall correctly, the Illinois car had an aluminum package made back in the day, and it included some additional parts, like doors, which real Z-11s did not have. And there are some that have Z-11 engine parts, like Bob Walla's 1964 race car.
I like 'em all!

one of my friends fathers has a lot of knowledge of z-11 stuff, and where most of the stuff is, or ended up. HIs basement is FULL of 63-64 full size parts, and his family had a Dealership back in the 60`s, so he has all sorts of books, and info. HEs a Eccentric guy. He hangs around my shop about once a week, ill ask him next time hes in. Currently hes restoring a 64 ss 409/425 car

First they had to stop big block production 
.
What's wrong with a big block? Okay, I know fuel consumption, but if
you use it with a sensible right foot it is not so dramatic.
Now they build there engines which you can use as the starter of
a big block (unbelievable), and they even have to stop production
because the Japs show the way of going on. This is not true, is it??
If yes is
all I have to say: congratulation to GM, well done, great job!
It's only good that all the great GM (Chevrolet) pioneers do not have to
be witness of this disaster!
