those cars were weird looking back then. -
This thread brings up a bad memory, back in 1977 a friend and I had a chance to buy a legit Z16. Well when we looked at it we both though the car was a fake SS car, because what dumbass would put SS emblems on the front fender of a 65 Chevelle. The car had a 396, two spoke steering wheel and the rear deck was blacked out different than any 65 SS I have ever seen. Upon this my buddy passed on the car for $800. Fast forward to 1983 when I got my Super Chevy magazine and what was on the front?, you guessed it, a real Z16 owned by Hoss from the show Bonanza. My heart about sank when at that point I realized that I let one get away only a few years earlier. Showed the mag to my friend, he just shook his head and said "wow, I messed up on that deal". Now those Z16's are worth over 250K.Comment
