Default Got really lucky with original owner #1 Z16

Out of the blue I got an email from the #1 Z16 original owner! Great guy and provided lots of photos, info - even THE original wheelcovers ($$$, but he deserved it). With his permission, I've devoted a web page to his ownership!

That's pretty cool. Great old pictures too. Do you still have the car or did it sell at the auction?

WOW! Those are some COOL pics!!! You sure did get lucky!
I REALLY enjoyed looking at these! Thank you! I agree with you that the last one looks like it could have been a "See the USA in your Chevrolet" ad.


My husband "got lucky" recently too! The brother of one of the guys who owned his car in the 70's surprised him with some 8mm footage of it last week.
