Z16 Chevelle Convertible

[JoeC]

From what I have read on the Z16s, the first was built in Baltimore as some sort of prototype. Then the production run of 200 built in KS. The 200 Z16 Chevelles were built with little variation in options or colors. Since the Z16s were ordered in similar configurations, it does not seem likely that any of the 200 production cars were convertibles but you never know until one gets found.
A Popular Mechanics Z16 article suggests there was some sort of special convertible 396 done in 1965 for Bunkie K.

Joe, I think you are right about the prototype, I think it belonged to F. Garrett, I do not think he has the car anymore.

I have always heard that there was one Z16 convertible built and it was in the hands of a private collector. A few months ago I was talking with a guy that supposedly "knows" the owner and the location of the mystery conv Z16 that most agree was not built. From what I gather the car has been restored or is in very good condition. Will try to find out more within the next week or so.................RatPack....................

I saw the Prototype Z16 at Chevella-Bration in Nashville in 2000.It was a very unique one of car,and had the most unusual cast pieces and emblems on it.
I believe the man who bought it from Floyd is Terry Gunther.

The Z16 Convertible was reportedly a color of Sierra Tan with a Saddle interior and Beige top.I always thought it was GM internally owned and the destroyed.
