That's what I had always believed. A local racer with close ties to Bill Thomas and Dickie Harrell managed to get some Z11 parts in the summer of 63 for his 63 Biscayne. He told me he had been chasing them since they were introduced earlier in the year.
He was always a straight shooter but I never decided about his story that a couple of years later a guy in a suit came to his shop wanting the parts back. He said the man had GM employee identification and that the parts had odd, 5 digit part numbers with a large X cast in.
I don't know much about this era so I never knew whether to take the story as gospel or not.
