Mecum - Anaheim lot S117 Z16
 

Ok guys the last time I ask about a Z16 was over two years and the search continues. What can anyone share with me about 138375K169241. Shows up in the Z16 registry, anyone know the car? Private messages work fine if you do not want to discuss in a public foru. Anyone know this car?
Thank You in advance

This is my seventh post in about seven years so I am not what you would call a frequent participant.

Hi Roy.. Apparently it was owned by Carl Dwiggins at one time.

Dave Tinnell did alot of resto work for Carl and might know more about it.

OK guys two images need your opinions and if you want to do it via private message or email either works for me. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Pretty sure Bill Wieman use to own this car 5-6 years ago you might want to check with him and see what he know or remembers.. I know Bill use to own a Red Z16 that belonged to Dwiggins

I think the assembly dates two days apart have similar characteristics and verify each other.

Tim, thanks for your input, I'm convinced based on what I see and have been told it is the real engine and a real trim tag, I just can't get passed a real red/red car being changed to red/black. Just begs to ask if it was rebodied in my mind and for that reason we have decided to pass on this car, just don't need the baggage.

Thank You to all the members that provided insight and assistance.
