1965 Z16 Chevelle production dates?
Can someone shed some light on the production window on the Z16's, esp. when the last of them rolled off the line?
Much obliged. Eric

Re: 1965 Z16 Chevelle production dates?
Does the 201 figure include the test/preproduction cars? The red one that was here in Greenville SC was supposed to be one of the test cars. Kevin Whittaker had it displayed at one of his Chevy dealerships. It disappeared last year. I don't know if he sold it or moved it.

Re: 1965 Z16 Chevelle production dates?
I bought a complete Z-16 396-375 HP engine from a bank parking lot swap meet in the early '90's for $900.00 that had a casting date of Feb. 5, 1965.

Re: 1965 Z16 Chevelle production dates?
On a similar note, isn't Feb. '65 the same time Mark 1V production was replacing 409s in full size units? . What would the earliest casting of any Mark 1V production blocks be? . So Mark, where did this Z-16 motor go....did you find any info on the car it was from? ~ Pete

Re: 1965 Z16 Chevelle production dates?
Except for the two Engineering Prototypes, all were built from late Feb thru early April, 1965. The Prototypes are probably included in the 201 total count. I don't believe any big cars or Corvettes received their 396 until well after April.
Rob: It's hard to hear that intercom at 11,000 feet on the slopes - a little volume adjustment, please....... Dave
