RE: [Chevelle-list] Z16
Well, I guess there are two that claim to be the 'first' prototype. An old Year One catalog has an article on what they claim is the first prototype but there's no vinyl top. Year One also claims, This car has been fully documented by Chevrolet as the original 'Tech Car' prototype, and as the first car built has many unusual features (even more unusual than most Z-16s). At the time of the article it was owned by Floyd Garrett. Stranger yet is Terry Gunter (sp?) had (advertised) Z-16 #2 at Nashville in 2003 (http://www.chevellestuff.com/65velle/gallery/prototype_z16.jpg) complete with the Baltimore body tag - the prototypes were built at Baltimore and production models at KC. Hmmm... A claim of 201 Z-16s including 1 convertible never found. Makes one wonder if 201 was the total 'production' run or did it include any of the 3 claimed prototypes?

Re: [Chevelle-list] z16
Boy they are really pushing the envelope on a lot of those cars in that Mecum Auction. I'd be afraid to bid on any of those cars unless I was there to verify them. I noticed a 69 Chevelle L78 with a 68 dash, and a 69 steering wheel with the wrong center shroud in it. I noticed that in the little pics they offer. Who knows what else one could detect with good pics.
