Default 1963 Z11 Impala FINISHED!

My buddy is finally finished with the ground up restoration of his Original 1963 Z11 Impala. This is the original Jack May car

http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/hanksz11page/

He fired it up for me Saturday, this car is truely badass. He plans to make a few shows around the country this summer with it. Pictures don't do this rare piece of GM history justice...

The car looks fantastic. I seen the finished chassis at the 409 Nats in Kansas City and have been following the website restoration for some time now. White and red interior with the chrome reversal wheels look absolutly stunning! I've always considered the 1963 Z-11 Impala as Chevrolets maximum effort drag racing package above everything else.

Hank has restored a couple of 63 409 cars in the past, but this one is the best by far. Must be the heritage

Over Anxious,

Awesome piece of machinery! Thanks for directing us to the pix. Mind if I ask you what tires he is running on the rear? Size/manufacturer.

Thanks

Joe,

Any details on how the car was found and/or the lineage traced? The car looks great.

Wow... nothing beats original racers!

Question:
What is the difference between a 409 motor and Z11 motor?
