Z16 Found or Never Lost??

[Mr70]

To correct an "Alternative Fact" being said by PGN,they assembled 201 Z-16 Chevelles,not 200.
Original Tonawanda records show they produced 221 total 1965 L-37 396/375HP IX coded Manual trans. running engines.
Chevrolet records show they installed 201 of those engines into 201 Manually trans. equipped Chevelles.
The remaining 20 IX coded engines were left for service engines.
Many people attended NCOA meets throughout the US back in the 1980's/90's,and I went to the one were Fran Preve talked about this with us,as he was allowed access to the Tonawanda plant & records.I still have a copy of those records he copied for us as I know many others still do from that day.And there was a lot of us.
The bottom line is Chevrolet assembled 201 running Z-16 Chevelles in 1965,whether you recognize one being a convertible or not.
If you don't believe there ever was a Z-16 convertible made,they still made 201 running 1965 Z-16 Chevelles.

I thought I just read where THE only Z-16 Convertible had been found and was currently under restoration.
