Where was it hijacked? No rules. Funny that some people said I'm out of here and they come back. HINT HINT!

There were only 50 Z-11s built. The shipping manifest from Tonawanda showed 50 QM engines shipped to Flint for production. 20 others were for over the counter sales.

 

There were actually 4 total black cars:

Mike Lenke - Ed Priester Chevrolet (CA)

Bures Hall - Mancuso Chevrolet (IL)

Jack Cooley - Olivier Chevrolet (LA)

V.P. Hartgrove - Stokes Motor Co. (NC)

I stand corrected.

Thank you,

1963 Chevy Impala Z11 427/430hp with 4-speed manual. Only 57 RPO Z11 lightweight Impalas were produced and only 2 of those were produced in black, WOW !

If the aircleaner is any indication, this is a 425hp car. Same aircleaner as the Z16 Chevelles. The 325 hp would have had a single snorkel. 

This was my dads 65 396 425 65 in the background. Taken in 1970.

Just trying to help. If he was, he would have found one by now maybe. Never know. Good luck on the search.

PS 

348/409 forum not a FB page.

My friend has been looking for a 65 409 car with a 4 speed, he is looking for an original protecto-plate car, condition is not as important as number to him.

They do pop up. Have him join my FB page and the 348 409 forum.

There is also a 65 Impala FB page that may help.

Not a W, this replaced the W in mid Feb. 65 396 325 or 425.  Corvette was 425hp only.

Note the jacked up back of the hood on race cars. Heat would just roll out into the plenum area. SCCA made it illegal on Corvettes so I just used 6 inch hood pins and no latches. They outlawed that the next year.

Vette hoods were front hinged. Just say it opened on its own. lol

Just now, John348 said:

 

I don't think is either, but I would not rule anything out until there is more information. Sold one's don't really help when someone is looking for ones currently for sale.

I just posted them for reference. They showed up on my FB 409 page when they were for sale. About one a year shows up for sale.

Four Chrome knobs under the dash - pretty sure a factory option - and hub caps are 67 only.

That is factory option. Sounded good for the times. Had a couple of them.. Rally's I think were never an option on a big car.

Country: is that last black a 67 ? (wheels and reverb/multiplex ?)

That is a 65 396 425 car.  Don't know about the multiplex. Here is a picture of a factory 65.

Hey Ed,

Your buddy's 66 is a nice car! I wish him good luck with it.

On the 65, I can't see much detail on the photos, they were taken too far away from the car. From the photos it looks like an original interior. I have a friend of mine that has to have a 65 409 car. He has one now but it is a 340 HP powerglide, he wants a four speed. It is an interesting car to say the least. I did notice that there is an AM/FM, tilt, and a wood wheel in it as well. My friend said he is going to call tomorrow and get some better photos and the engine number. I realize that the 65's are low production, but seldom is one ever seen for sale.

I do not think this is an original 409 car. Here are a few that have sold.

Long time lurker here.  Can ship anyone's vehicle open or enclosed.  If anyone needs a good rate just call and ask for Joel and say you are a member here http://diamandautotransport.com  

Broker? Cheap rates means vehicle will take a long time to get moved.

I wonder if some just put on the 2X4's on an original 340 HP engine? It has factory A/C, I am pretty sure that you could not get A/C on a 400 HP engine, 340 only. I would have to check when I get upstairs.  It is a very highly optioned 65

AC was never optioned on the solid lift W. Only through the back door or a mule car.

Here's a 1965 Impala SS 409 for sale here in Ontario. Over priced, wavy body lines, cool car though!

I would say that this may not be an original 409 car. Only single quad was available. The top set up is a 63 or 64.

Strange Stuff Z-11 originally ordered and raced by Bobby Atkinson and Charlie Venable out of Atlanta. Then sold shortly after to Steve Bagwell the to Max Smith. Then rotting away in Ohio. Heard it’s going to be restored.

The 62 409 below ran low 7s in the 1/4 in the late 80s.
