Market commentary

A fine example of the first response from Chevy to the success of Pontiacs GTO, one of just 201 Z16 Chevelles built in 1965 in a trial run preceding introduction of the SS 396 in 1966. Checkered history including fastening the origil body tag and VIN plate to new panels, which accounts for its modest price. Offered by Kruse at Auburn Fall in 1992 where, freshly restored, it no saled at $52,500. Its nearly as good today as it was then and brought a price appropriate to its history.
