Wow I've been missing the fun!.
A couple things to comment on...

One, there was another 427 ZL1 Camaro shipped to a Canadian dealer, Nurse Chev Olds in Whitby Ontario..
GM sent the car there to have a ZL1 engine close by for Eaton's CanAm team car when he was running at Mosport..
I forget what became of it or if they ended up pulling the engine or not...what's strange is CanAm ZL1's are different displacements, 494 is one I think, I forget the other..

On the Z16, the Prototype was Dave Miner's car...sadly Dave just passed away a just few months ago.. He was a great guy and thankfully his Z16 website as shown above has been resurected by his friends and family..
I remember he told me once that his Prototype had the standard non-boxed frame unlike the production Z16 cars which all had the boxed convert. frames..
Another cool 'kind've' Z16 fact is GM built one Mk1V 2-Dr. Post car, a black car that even one upped the Hydraulic Lifter L37 396/375 motor of the Z16's as it had the 1965 only L78 396/425 Solid Lifter motor!.

Clay Models, of the 64 Chevelle / Nova

Early production Nova was discontinued to make way for the new 64 Nova, as shown above . The nova was recontinued mid-year after these cars were renamed Malibu . Maverick comes from discussions at GM prior to the Nova stuff . The pictures , ont he turntable are the car i was telling you about befor. 1 door one side, and 2 doors on the ther side, but it doesnt doesnt show the other side unfortunatly . The car third down on the right is your first 64 Chevelle / Nova , and is tagged Nova ( January '63 )Late April '63 Malibu badge first appeared on the rear quater , though the grille wasnt yet finalized ( bottom row ) .

These photos of the 65 Malibu are worth gold to me as I intend to prepare an exhibition Album from the time it was built to the present moment.  Put it on a little pedastil next to the car! with the Canadian Poncho regalia!!!!

Next-

I'm at work and my list is at home, but I recall one of the questions on the sheet. What car company did Johnny Carson buy 250,000 shares in? (Approx 1974)

Probably Toyota.

It's ok Carl, I've gone back and done a complete forensic audit of all your answers. Hillar even e-mailed Dan Jensen in the US to get further review on some Pontiac history. We reviewed the audit findings at a local Tim Horton's last night with 65 Camino there as well as an objective observer. The review took about 2 1/2 hours to complete. So far you are 99.275% correct.

Nope. I did some scouting because I was pretty sure I knew which company it was. It is not Bricklin, unless Carson invested there too. If he did, there is 2 correct answers.
