This Hugger Orange 69 Z/28 was the pilot Z/28 in '69. It is VIN number 3 and was restored by Larry Christensen. He had lots of original GM photos of the car and it was restored just how it appeared in the photos. This car was featured in the February '21 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines and is in their upcoming '22 calendar.

Is this a true "XS" car? Or something similar to the '65 above?

This is a true XS code factory built car. There was a copy of the PHS documents with the car. I believe there were around 110 of these cars produced in '66 and this is 1 of 5 that are known.

----I am curious about the black air-cleaner lids? I have never seen a set. Were they part of th RA package? I had a true RA package convert years ago (like 1975 or so) and the lids were chrome, but the car had over 100,000 miles and someone easily could have changed them!....Bill S

This shows how many engines were built. I bet the number of GTOs equipped with the engine was more than 110, though it's unknown.
