Thanks! I thought there were only two of these made. I have seen the yellow one that Roger's Corvette owns.
Interesting that the other is in the islands. I rather doubt that it would be for sale on Craigslist though.

Yep, the 63 Z-11's were factory built Chevrolet drag cars, and dominated the NHRA in 63. There were 50 Z-11's built, and all of them were 63 Impala 2 door hardtops, not Super Sports. The Z-11 package came with aluminum fenders, hood, bumpers, bumper brackets, & fan shroud. The engine was a 409 stroked to 427 cu.in., with special high rise heads, a high rise two piece 2x4 intake, forged 13.5:1 pistons, and a cowl induction air cleaner. None of the Z-11's came with a radio, heater, sway bar or any sound deadener/insulation.
Z-11 was also the RPO for the 69 Camaro Indy Pace Car, a pretty special car in it's own right!
