From what I've read and seen the Z-11 didn't have any emblems from the factory.

The Z-11 had special valve covers because of the pushrod guide plates and angle of the surface where the valve covers bolted on. The original ones I've seen were painted silver (no not the greenish tinged) and photo's of the engines from back in the day didn't have any stickers (of course).

You remember something someone told you back when you were 9 or 10?. That's SOME memory!.

it was a fairly new car then maybe a year old. it had a sound like no other and left a BIG impression on me. i guess i never got over the big car-big engine mark it left on me. i have forgotten a lot of other things though! dennis

King midget.

I sure do remember the Midget. Saw a few parked in downtown Athens when I was a kid, funny I didn't see more of them. I don't think they sold well in Athens! I've seen a few at some of the bigger car shows, pretty rare huh? I can remember them advertised in Popular Mechanics Mag.

THE WHITE 63 IMPALA ON THE Z-11 FACTS PAGE MUST BE A RESTORATION PICTURE? IT SHOWS WHAT LOOKS LIKE 327 EMBLEMS TO ME? I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THESE CARS EXCEIPT WHAT I HAVE READ? DENNIS

Z-11 markings--NONE

The Z-11 cars had the crossed flags, only, a sign that indicated the 327 back then. There was no markings to signify the Z-11 or 427 motor.

Definitly not an expert, but what I've seen and read is that the Z11 had 327 emblems. Sticks in my mind because I thought that it was wierd; why 327 emblems?!
