Chevy did make those front ends for 62. Detroit dragway always held a race before the US Nationals, in August of 62 Dyno, Strickler-Jenkins and Frank Sanders showed up for this race with the parts on the cars before heading to Indy they were not approved and Sanders and Dyno went out got rental cars and swap front ends for the race I seem to remeber that Sharkman was there also. BTW that where the First 62 lite weight Fords showed up ther were ten of those but they had fiberglass hood, fenders, doors and decklids they also had Alum bumpers.
Zintmaster Chey in Kokomo, Ind had a Z-11 Impala it has been in several Mags over the years. It was White

An original engine unrestored 62 Bubble Top Z11 - with aluminum front end?
They don't say anything about the background of this car and that really makes me wonder where it's been all these years.
I don't think I've seen one of these in the flesh for many, many years.
Anybody know anything about this car?
