Malcum's Z-11 at Charlotte 1989

Mr. Speed,

First I want to tell a story about the Frank Spittle's 1st Super Stock reunion held at Charlotte Motor Speedway around 1989. The owner was backing Maclum's restored car off the trailer and the front bumper got caught on something and bent it, just a little. Thinking the aluminum license filler panel was also damaged.

Have grainey pictures of that weekend which show most of all the old racers. A collector got my colored 8X10 group picture and autographed T-shirt with 40 names. "Maverick" Golden sported his old green plaid leisure and greasy hair at the dinner and his language around the ladies was crude. Spittle had reserved rooms for the racers but 'Mav' spent the night in his old dualie!

Walley...remember Super Chevy Indy when you walked over to my red "Living Legend" Z-11 racer and slipped behind the wheel for a picture? "Boy does this bring back memories" were your first words. I still have that picture and would post it if I knew how. Wild Bill

Single Quad Z11?

In a reprint from Hot Rod about the new FX Z11 of '62(!), the article showed a single quad intake top with a 4jet. Anyone actually ever see one of these or was it a pre-production R&D piece or maybe a NASCAR part?
There used to be a guy here in Dallas with an aluminose Z11 that showed in the Autorama, but never heard any more about him. Makes you wonder exactly how many are out there and who's got 'em.
Why the hell didn't Edelbrock just make the Z top if they were making heads anyway? :evil
Okay yeah I know I should be glad for what they're doing, but then what would I gripe about?

i will try to post a pic of it single 4 bll z11 for nascar use, i believe its for sale

 

[dean409]

Thanx Mark. Makes sense it's a NASCAR piece. I guess when you race in a circle for a long time you don't have time for another four barrel. Too busy turnin'.

I have a film with Jerrys Z11 doing what looks like a private match race with another light weight 63 or 64 chrysler.Last about 2 minutes from Niagra.

Wild Bill...Sure was great fun watching you and Barber John go at it during those SCS Indy years!

I agree at least for the intake. They have an RPM Air Gap for the other Chevy motors that look close already.
