1963 Z11 Impala Race Bred

[tom406]

Per Colvin’s 60-64 “By the Numbers” chapter on the Z-11, they were all built with close ratio Borg Warner T10 with Inland shifters. It makes sense, as the first Muncie 4 speeds didn’t initially ship to production until February 6th, 1963. (Shipped to Baltimore plant to be put into full size Chevrolets, NOT Corvettes-The earliest Corvettes to get Muncies are built in the May/June 1963 timeframe)

I don’t think Mr. Sortino owns the Sanders car any longer. I appraised it around 2010 here in WA and then the next time I saw it was in the Mecum display at MCACN a few years later. I do have to say, its probably my favorite Z11 after seeing it in all of its unique aqua/aqua original glory.
