[Bayer Z-11]

I can say that the picture of the Bill Bader Chevrolet sponsored ‘63 Impala is indeed a Z-11. I am the current owner of what remains of the original pieces to this car. Jack was employed at Bader Chevrolet and owned the Z-11. Prior to this car he was racing a ‘62 Impala. I am doing research in a quest to build a tribute to the original Z-11. Unfortunately after talking with Cheryl Bader I’m running into a dead end. I’ve contacted the NHRA museum for information with no reply. I have just sent an information request to Thomas Bayer in hopes that he might be related to Jack. Sadly Jack passed away several years ago and his shop in Hemet CA has closed its doors. There was a close connection to Larry Minor and off road racing endeavors but Larry is unreachable. If anyone has information regarding family or associates that might further my research it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Bill
