...found some old pics of my Z16...

Sure wish I could say that!!!.

..........

...was it all glass or a stock hood with scoop molded in?...

I'd put my money on mod/stock as wouldn't you think most guys would skip the individual CHEVROLET letters across the front on a glass replacement...or left them on the stock hood if changed as it would probably have been Ok?.

..........

I remember seeing an old 'Hot Rod' mag picture...pretty sure it was Z16 on a hoist showing the aftermarket rear axle cover that looks like a big flared turbo pipe outlet? .
Anyone remember this photo or have a pic of one of these covers...what were they called and who made 'em?.

------Pete,,,I believe you are thinking of "Turbonique". I dont think I ever saw one in the flesh (so to speak) but read enough about them. I do remember that picture of a Z16 with a Turbonique "thingy" attached. I think they used it in thier add........Bill S

[x Baldwin Motion]

right you are Bill,
check this out http://www.the-rocketman.com/turbonique1.html


far out, the ultra rare Flying Z16 !!

[olredalert]

------So,,, I guess the next question is "does anyone know what happened to Joey Chitwoods Z16??? Had to ask,,,right???......Bill S

[PeteLeathersac]

Yep, that's the pic I remember...and some hoist, I didn't remember it was a flying Z16! .

Crazy link Motion and unfriggin'believable units...I had no idea they were a real supercharger!!! .

And the Sizzler...you're right Bill, wonder where it ended up? .

Quite the claims on the power chart...over 1000 Hp out of the 409 second only to the Hemi! .

Must be '65 era as no 427 listed on the chart yet and that snowmobile is a 63/64 SkiDoo. .

Some of the other contraptions look 'interesting'...quite the machine w/ the two seats on page four that looks like it's a flying machine missing it's prop but is some kind of water skipper?

Love the pic of the go-cart guy beating the rail! .

Anyone here ever have one or any experiences around these units? .

(other than good air)
