Newly Found Z-16 Chevelle
Is this a newly found car? The ad says it is a one owner car. The price is a couple hundred high.

172 MPH at Daytona? I have a hard time believing that. Who puts 68,257 miles on a car and doesn't remove the window sticker?
I've heard a story about one of these sitting behind a house in Quality KY. Don't know if it's true or not.

X2.
I have seen one or two cars before where people, for God-knows-what reason, have not removed the window sticker.

Cliff's a legend - look him up. How many teenagers managed to get through the back door at Chevrolet and get cozy enough with Piggins, Zora and Ed Cole to score a Z16 and then an L88 Corvette to race with under the table factory backing? Exactly one: Cliff. His life is the stuff of movies.

Anyone that hasn't read the story about Cliff building the L88 Corvette and driving it from Kansas to Daytona and back needs to look it up, absolutely amazing story!

I thought 3.31 was the factory ratio for the Z16. Did I miss something?

----This Z16 was, I'm pretty sure, given to Cliff to evaluate and evaluate it he did. I'm not sure weather he installed the tall gears or weather GM installedthem for him to do the top end run!.......Bill S

Problem with that is not only the engine appearing to be stock in the photo's complete with exhaust manifolds, I doubt the engine would make enough HP to overcome the aerodynamic challenges involved to reach a speed like that. Unless we aren't getting the whole story? Neat car though. |
