Meagan,
I've tried to follow some of the history of the '63 Z-11s, and thought of a question for your Dad. IT's been said that in order to purchase any specific Z-11 parts from the Chevy dealer back then, one had to produce a VIN of the car and fill out a special form for the order to go through. I'd like to hear your Dad's comments on that.
And when you get around to posting some photos, don't forget about that Z-11!!
Thanks
Verne
