Re: 1963 Z11 Impala FINISHED!
I'm very glad to see Hank got the car done. I knew it was close! I also saw the great chassis at KC and spent time with Hank.
The RPO-Z-11 package in '63 was THE MOST well equipped complete "designed for racing" Regular Production Option that Chevrolet has EVER produced in it's entire history. Verne |

Re: 1963 Z11 Impala FINISHED!
Everything except block, cam, carbs, distributor, distributor drive shaft, timing gear set, exhaust manifolds, and some bearings and bolts. And that's just the engine. It was stroked to 427cid.
(it was NOT the "mystery motor" that apppeared at Daytona in Feb. '63). The Z-11 was done under Duntov's watch. The MK-II mystery motor was entirely Dick Keinath's endeavour under wraps of upper management. I can't wait to see Hank's finished result... Verne Here's the original car: Notice how the front fenders are brighter than the rest of the car. They weren't primed. Just paint over shinny aluminum. |

Paging BOB G.........
Why not ask Hank to bring it to SCR9????????? Between that car and one of Don Fezell's, those early "muscle barges" should be well represented!! |
