The Big Block Chevelles started in 1965 when Chevrolet decided they wanted to draw attention to their new 396-powered Chevelle. To promotion of the Z16 Chevelles, Chevrolet presented Z16s to high profile men like Briggs Cunningham, Phil Hill, A. J. Foyt, and Dan Blocker who played "Hoss" on "Bonanza," The Crocus Yellow Chevelle given to Blocker (Pictured below), featuring every option available. The list includes tilt steering, a wood steering wheel, bumper guards, power windows, tinted glass, and vinyl roof. Standard options on all Z16 Chevelles were power steering, power brakes, AM-FM multiplex radio, remote mirror, 160mph speedometer, in-dash tachometer, dash-top clock and all were four speeds. All Z16s were built on convertible frames and equipped with Impala 11 -inch drum brakes and axle tubes.
