That's a beautiful car. My freind Restored a Convertable one It had the 350 4sp 12 bolt rear. It was the RS/ SS. It took 2nd place in TheFrank Morata Auto show at the New Haven Collusium.
I will tell you this as I once owned one. Chevy called the Pace Car Convertibles a Z-11 and they produced about 3500 +/- of the Convertibles and true they all had Orange Houndstooth Interiors. However, Chevy produced somewhere around 400 +/- Coupes that were called the Z-10 and they mostly had 350 engines, but there were a few with a 396 cu in that came in three different HP ratings 325, 350 and 375. Most came with the Ivory Interior. Now they were only sent to dealers in the SW part of the US. I bought min New in June 1969 in Lawton OK. The reason they were made as a Coupe is because most people in those states felt it was too HOT to run around in a Convertible. Oh, mine also had a black Vinyl Top. I was not a fan of the Vinyl Top, but that was the only one they had with a 375 HP 396.
Cool video !!! Shock to hear that 430 thosand were made??? My brother still has his Z10 . He is the original owner. Bought it here in Texas. FYI Only about 200 Z10's were made for North Texas & Oklahoma dealerships.(and in 2 other states?) Thats what makes it so rare ...see other UTube videos on the Z10. Have a nice day. - Johnny
Had the same drivetrain as any other small block ss car. The performance wasn’t what made it rare, it was basically a hardtop pace car. When you get more time, it’s worth watching and listening to.
There's a woman up north here that caught her husband cheating. She took a ball pin hammer to. It was a hard top ruined that car. A true Z10 numbers matching. Have you ever heard this story?
I would almost be willing to trade my 69 427 ZL1 for that car But I promised it to my daughter. I'm looking for my car's twin and am not having any luck but that one would be a close second.
Nice story for a Saturday morning. Beautiful car, in good hands.
Couldn't agree more!
Sweet

Sweet car. I skipped over pieces of the vid cause I'm busy today, so I might have missed it, but what made this special in terms of performance?

Sharp ride!!!

Hadn’t heard about that. Hurts just hearing that!

That would be very foolish! Basically the Z 10 is a paint package, while yours is sooooo much more.
