All the options that made up the 63 Z06 were available in 64 but just not in a group option package.

Yes........................more commonly referred to as a J-56 big brake car in today's world.

Yep. Maybe I'm biased because I own one. In fact, I've owned 3 of the 29 that were made.

Oh ye of little faith.........................Option Z-06 WAS INDEED on the dealer order form in in September 1963. Yes, option Z-06 was removed as that specific option in late Sept or early Oct 1963, but Z-06 WAS on the order form. The components of the Z-06 package (Fuel injection, HD metallic brakes with finned drums and vented backing plates, F-40 HD suspension, 4 speed transmission) were "unbundled" and the J-56 brakes (Z-06 brakes) were offered to the public after January 1964. So all 29 J-56 (Z-06) cars were built after January 1964.

Rex,
Did the '64 J-56 option include the same dual stage Kelsey-Hayes master cylinder as the '63 Z-06 package?

Yes it did Verne. 64 J-56 brakes exactly the same as 63 Z-06.

Here is a pic of my current car, quite possible the last J-56 car built in 64.

Bill,

I'm still working on that part. Actually, this is a photo from a year ago, things look TOTALLY different now. I'll post an updated pic soon.

Thanks,

thank you.... not much room to put a 'Y' and the aircleaner/elbow is too valuable to hack up !!!

maybe a couple of 57 style aircleaners
