Larry,
I agree with that, I guess in my haste I didn't word
it correctly, the article implied that he had never
seen one, and that the basic restro was done from
pictures and articles. It's too bad the story is so
short, it looks a very nice car,said it took six years
to complete.

In my opinion I find it hard to believe that one of the 200 production Z-16
Chevelles was a convertible For two reasons. One is because they were built
with very limited amount of variance in the options selection. Even the color
selection was limited. Two is they were built on a convertible fr

Good story Kent. Very enjoyable. I know at one time Mark Meekins was putting
together a Z-16 from many parts cars. I don't know if he ever finished but a lot Z-16
parts were all offered for sale by him some time ago. Wouldn't it be something if he
put the story together to legitimize the co

Semi knowing mark if there was one he would know about it. In fact mark has had for sale for the last 2 years a menagerie of Z16 parts with a 65 convert included. He also last summer sold a z16 rolling car to a friend of mines friend in Arizona. several of the Z16 owners do not want anyone to know
Kent:
you were at one time able to buy the Z16 160 speedo over the counter. Maybe someone put it in a convertible? I own two 160 speedos.

Rocky:
the articles and photos had to be from a hardtop. In all my searching I have never seen a Z16 convertible and none of the Z16 owners that I know have either.
Larry (z)
Well I have a Z-16 convertible!
It's a 1/24th scale model. The interesting part is on the bottom it says:
1/24 1965 Chevelle SS396 Z-16 used under license
It's made of cast metal and the doors and hood open. Even the steering
wheel turns the wheels. It's got a Chevy orange 396 with a dual inlet

Larry,
The first paragraph states if you wanted to make a
copy but no one knew where the original was, how would
you know what the finished product looks like? it says
he did it from articles and photos. car looks very
nice, the article was very short, only one column.

I've always heard the Z-16 number is 201 including the one ragtop. I met a guy at the
MCC/ACES NE Regional at North East, MD who owned 2 Z-16's and he claimed the magic
number is really 200 and the convertable doesn't exist. By the way, he was driving a
black Z-16, not entered in the show, an

I'm sure you are talking about bumper guards. These were an option on all 65 CHEVELLES. V31 ($19.95 / 15,200 made) was the number for the fronts and V32 ($9.70 / 11,037 made) for the backs.the V32 will also work on the back of the 64 chevelle.you can usually pick them up for about $175.00 a se
That's the same car that was at a SSC from last month's

owner. In the last issue they reported that the owner did extensive
