<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: markjohnson</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Johnny Londoff supposedly sponsored a '63 Z-11 Impala back in the sixties. I've heard this from a couple of different sources but Londoff is not on the list of dealers that received Z-11's. There was a Z-11 here in St. Louis but it was originally from Michigan and NOT sold in St. Louis. Anyway, I do know that a very good friend took delivery of a brand new 1968-9 L-88 Corvette from Londoff. They really did not want to warranty it due to it's obvious race car nature but eventually gave in and told him '30 days'. St Louis had a really big street racing scene along with lots of drag strips so musclecars were really punished hard here. When my father went to buy a brand new Hemi Charger, the Dodge dealer we went to told him when he left the lot, that was it, no warranty. So he ended up buying a 440 R/T with a warranty. </div></div>

I've been told that Feld Chevrolet in Kansas City Kansas tried to get a Z-11 but couldn't make it happen for some reason. So they pulled a new 63 out of inventory, ordered all the parts and made their own. Maybe Londoff did the same thing.
