Z16 Showcase at MCACN 2015 !!

[jeffschevelle]

I am happy to share MORE BIG MCACN 2015 NEWS !!

As usual, the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals (“MCACN”) show is planning to have a 50th anniversary display of significant muscle cars at their 2015 indoor show the weekend of November 21-22, 2015, in Rosemont, Illinois (just outside Chicago).

Of course, that would not be complete without a gathering of 1965 Z16 Chevelles -- THE ORIGIN OF THE BIG BLOCK CHEVELLE!

MCACN has asked me to run point on trying to get as many Z16 owners to bring their cars to the show as possible. Any real Z16 will be welcome – original, restored, old race cars, project cars (no matter how rough), and cars in mid-restoration. The more cars the better! (But No Clones!)

At this time we have firm commitments for <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">8 cars</span></span> (4 red and 4 yellow), plus &quot;almost firm&quot; commitments from owners of <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">2 black cars</span></span>!!

And we have another 9 cars (4 red, 1 yellow, and 4 black) whose owners are in the &quot;maybe&quot; category while trying to work out logistics to make it to the show!

Our goal is to have at least one of every possible exterior/interior color combination (that's 16 combo's) on display! That will be a tall order and pretty tough to pull off, but we're going to try to get as close as possible!

If you know any Z16 owners, please fill them in and ask them to contact me for more info on the show!

Very much correct. I miss Dave!

[SS427]

Indeed miss Dave. This November's show will be a killer once again with all the showcases/invitationals that they are having.

----As well, my good buddy, Wayne McCabe from Cape Cod. Wayne loved Z-16s and had both a red one and a black one. Both he restored basicly himself. RIP, Wayne! I miss you and our Carlisle adventures......Bill S

Bill,
You'll have to make plans to be in Chicago next November. I'm 99% sure that I am bringing Wayne's black car for this display.

We are honored to have Mr. Helms leading up this very special display. As you all know, his continued support of the MCACN show and his enthusiasm for our hobby, <span style="font-style: italic">and especially these cars</span> assures a display that will indeed be over the top.

I am sure that Dave and Wayne will both be looking down on us in November, proud to see the continuation of the legacy of these cars and their owners!

So is this a real one? - http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...;gonew=1#UNREAD (http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&amp;Number=8428180&amp;an=0&amp;page=0&amp;gone w=1#UNREAD)

[Ls6 Ragtop]

Not likely. Z16's did not have the Malibu SS emblems on the rear quarter. They were moved to the front fenders on Z16's along with the 396 turbo jet emblems.
The car in the pictures has all the side emblems in all the wrong places for a Z16.

Looking forward to seeing Wayne's triple black Z-16. Oh and I hope you got yourself dug out Mr. White. Safe trip.. Talk to you when you get back.

No, look closely at the pics and you can see that that is a 64, not a 65. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

[SS427]

Ha! I was wondering how long it would take someone else to notice that.....
