Wow~~~~!!!!

[flyingn]

beautiful and uncommon color combo. According to the z16 registry there are only 2 such color combos found..

[DBelk]

I love those hubcaps. Beautiful car.

[olredalert]

----Im pretty sure there was one up on the tip of Cape Cod that was this color combo (although it might have been black on black). Wayne McCabe (RIP) whose friendship I treasured owned it along with several other rare pieces. Im just not sure what happened to it since his passing.....Bill S

Somebody in the design studio thought it looked &quot;fabulous&quot;.

WoW, nice!!!
I love N96 mag covers on anything...if that was even an RPO for '65?

Enough whining about the SS emblems as we got stuck w/ them on Canadian built 66/67 cars too.
They were used on our SB Malibu SS cars but looked somewhat better on the rear flanks, sad but true as an SS A-body didn't always equal MK1V's up here.
To clarify, Beaumonts are a whole different story!

I don't mind the Malibu SS emblems on my 65 at all. I agree with Pete that they seem to fit the rear quarters much better. Up on the fender they seem unbalanced which is only aggrevated by the Z-16 rear tail panel trim which seems incomplete. I think I could live with it if I were to ever own one.

Is it just an illusion, or is the emblem installed at an angle?

Bill,
Wayne's car is triple black, which I personally like best on these cars. Wayne's is the only triple black car I'm aware of, maybe Jeff Helms knows of others. Wayne also had a Red-Red Z-16 that he sold years ago. As you stated Wayne was one of the best friends a car guy could ask for and dearly missed by me and I'm sure many others.

Love those SS emblems on the rear quarter.

I remember Chris Daniels selling one of his to someone in Cape Cod that he said. &quot;Needed it more than he did&quot;. Maybe that was Wayne ? The owner of the one at SEMA was listed as Daniels also but not Chris.

Wayne did indeed buy the triple black car from Chris Daniels.

Looks like it's slanted to me as well. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/confused.gif

[1969L78Nova]

Are those heat deflectors on the spark plugs ? Was that only installed on Z16s?

[olredalert]

----Chris,,,Does Carol still have the Z16???.....Bill S

[olredalert]

----Those same design heat deflectors came on a whole bunch of Corvettes as well......Bill S

[ktownkid]

Whoa!!!!! I like the emblems.......but would have left them on the quarter panels.....not moved to fenders. Sorry I wasn't clear....
