I believe it was destroyed in a drag racing accident.

Thought someone would know but I have never seen it.
Was not hard to post this just in case it was not known.

Well I still have not seen it and will not. Sure, looked like one of the 201 to me. Wonder if it was "Hosses"?
:grin:

https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/201...-from.html?m=1 guy said he went through the lights at 162 mph and the turbine locked up and he rolled it over 12 times.
Zach Reynolds from RJR tobacco had one of these in a ford and would run it on i40 in north carolina. I think the car is still around.

Real Z16, but not "Hoss's car".

Somewhere I have pictures of it sitting at Chitwood's place after the wreck. I would be astonished if it rolled over 12 times. Once yes, twice maybe, but 12 I doubt.

From the driver's side it did not look bad at all, just a little damage to the back end of the quarter. The other side is not shown well, but you can see that the A-pillar was laid down pretty bad on the psgr side. Back then it was just a car, and not worth fixing, and was reportedly sent to the scrap yard after pulling the drivetrain. In Florida if I recall correctly.

Yes, Dan Blockers' Z16 was Yellow.

Thanks for the responses.

Figured you folks would know but it was a surprise to me.

Lots of knowledge in the shadows here.
THE reason we are here to learn.

The "Hoss" bit was pure tounge in cheek.
Remember reading about the can of worms over that.
