Looks very over restored! And that's not meant in a negative way, I love seeing those cars done like that.

Is that one of the factory lightweights with the selected aluminum components & fenders? Cowl plenum intake! I love it! Considering the inherent weakness of the rear ends it makes me wonder how they kept them together during their drag racing careers. Those Z-11 engines were rare in their own right with unique intakes & heads. I thought those things actually displaced 427 c.i.d. That is one of those cars that will always bring in big bucks.

 You're correct, the Z-11s had a 409 bore, 4.31", with a unique 3.65" stroke to arrive at 427 cubic inches. The same dimensions as the original 1963 427  Mystery engines, or Mark II.

I owned a Mystery Motor intake for many years. Bought by accident at a swap meet thinking it was a Mark IV intake. I finally sold it to my friend in Nebraska for him to hang on his wall. He's big on 409's. It was good bragging rights but the money I got for it went to good use, although some days I wish I still had it.

Very nice car. I'll be interested to see what it sells for. I remember a few years ago there was a maroon one acrooss the block at Barrett Jackson (earlier when they had reserves) that bid to $105K but didn't sell. Even then it seemed like a bargain to me at that price.

This particular Z-11 was sold through new at Clippinger Chevrolet in Covina California. It sat on the lot for awhile and eventually sold to a Ron Campbell who resided in Las Vegas and sponsored by Oscar Gregory Chevrolet. The car never ran that great compared to the other well known Z-11 Chevy's (Hayden Proffit,Nicholson,Sox & Martin, Dave Strickler etc).
