So, to clarify and reiterate, where did the rumor start?

I believe it was published in the old National Chevelle Owner's Association publication The Chevelle Report.

200 sport coupes
1 convertible

Interesting, the man owning the car speaks as though it is a well known fact that Dan Blocker drove a Z16 vert. Show me one picture of Dan in a vert

The front fender flags look a bit off.

Has it got an FM trim tag?

Temporary Shameless Plug; Just to put some of the Rumors to rest. Nickey will have a real deal Z16 Coupe on Display, For Sale and available for immediate delivery, at the Vette Fest. It is priced to move @ only $195,000.00.

It was purchased from the original owner, just a few years ago and has only had two registered owners. It is an original born with drivetrain car. Original protect-o- plate and has a copy of the original broad cast sheet. It is also a former Chevy Vette Fest Gold Spinner award winner

There was a thread on this site I think, some time ago, in which a person claimed that he knew that the Z-16 convertible was destroyed years ago. Does anyone remember that thread ?

I don´t know if he said anything about the colour of the car, just that a friend of his wraped it around a pole. That´s how I remember it.

There is a guy on Team Chevelle that swears he rode in the Z-16 convertible back in the day.
