Did you sell it to the guy in West Chester, PA who has 3 of them - one in each color?

Of the 201 made,75 are accounted for Today according to MM.This does not mean they are all in Driving condition.
Dan Blockers Butt touched one of them....
Z16's were available in these colors:
Regal Red
Crocus Yellow
Tuxedo Black
Cost was around $4,200.00 in 1965.
The one lone Company Fleet Convertible was Sierra Tan.
As of now,the convert.is believed to have been Destroyed.

There are about 65 known cars today according to the "keeper of the vins" in PA. I believe he has info on all of these cars and is very discrete and does not give out owner info. He is doing a great service to those of us with real Z16's - clones aren't a problem for me - fakes are.

If you really know Z16's, you know they are hard to fake because of some very unique items. I have been told recently by a parts maker that Z front spindles may be in the works - a part unique to the Z. If this happens, watch out for "built" cars. The Jim M. project should expose any fakes that do get built - I hope.

Several musclecar and Chevelle books often picture a very nice red one that is (or used to be) located in Iowa. Usually displays the old 1965 Iowa license plate showing Dallas County (probably in the Waukee, IA area). I live near this area yet I've never seen the car but am curious if anyone is familar with this car. Still the same owner of year's ago or has it since been sold?
