Default 1963 Z11 Impala Race Bred

These cars although RPO's, were purpose built for strictly racing. Non essential items were not available to reduce weight such as; radio, heater, sound-deadner.

This package was quite potent especially when Frank Sanders was behind the wheel, winning 19 of 20 races he entered in 1963.

Today it is owned by Roger Sortino a fantastic caretaker!

Here are a few HD components:

Aluminum components:
  • hood
  • fenders
  • bumpers

Engine-427:
  • stroker crankshaft
  • compression (13.5:1)
  • heads with larger ports
  • dual four-barrel carbs
  • 427 cubic inches-430 horsepower.
