Dennis when you get older all your plumbing is at 90 degrees. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

When I get older I'll take note of that. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I had the pleasure of checking this car out at the Fall Charlotte swap meet. It appears to be 98% original save for a few small items. You really have to see it in person to appreciate it.

I'm not being critical of the car because Lord knows I'd be thrilled to have it in my garage, but what's the 90° fitting on the fuel line? Is that a standard Z-16 piece?
Looks like a bathroom plumbing piece I used a couple of months ago. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

What's the mileage on the car?

It looks just like the fitting used on the 66-71 426 hemi rear carbs. It was a Weatherhead fitting used to adapt pipe thread to flare seal fittings.

Unlike restored cars, the patina of survivors take you back in time...priceless...

Definately one of those cars that make you say "WOW" and mean it...I want it!!!

I saw this car at Chevellabration and this weekend at the Carolina Chevelle show. The tall slim guy with the blue tee shirt in the first 2 pictures is the owner. I don't remember his name but he owns two Z-16s.

The owners name is Jeff Helms from Concord,NC.
He's saving up to have it restored,but I think he should leave it as is...My 2¢
If you think this Z16 is nice,(and I do),you should see Tom Wrights all original 17K mile Z16......YEEEEEOWWZA! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
 

Stunning. I wonder if Dave M. had seen/known of this car?
The "registry" info was only for owners.

-----Both the 90% fitting and the plug shields are absolutely original.
-----The plug shields also are or should be on every 1965/66 Corvette big-block and passenger car big-block as well. The heads even have little bosses cast into them with threaded holes for attachment.
-----I have a friend with a very original Z16 that also has exactly the same chrome-plated fuel fitting. Notice that the fuel fitting on the other side of the filter is also plated. The line and fitting configuration is the same as a 396 65 Vette except that its all chrome plated.......Bill S
