Whoa, Chuck! "Cognoscente"? You been reading Webster's again? :*) Wow!
Speaking of things in print...the Year One (spring 98) catalog I have shows SS427 flags for 66/67 Chevelles but state, "427's weren't originally factory-installed in '66 models but it's a common swap. For this reason, we're including these emblems here."
Concerning the Z-16's they state that the prototype was built in Baltimore on a hardtop chassis and the other 200 (and I quote "all Z-16s were hardtops") were assembled in Kansas City using the convertible boxed frame.
Four years ago at least, the "Tech Car" prototype was owned by and on display at the, then new, Floyd Garrett.

Ha! Made ya reach for the dictionary on that one, huh, Dale? I figger since you're one of 'em, now you know what you are!
I agree with Year One... the 427 is a fairly "common swap" into '66-7 Chevelles. But emblems alone do not make the car! As for the Z-16 proto, Floyd sold it a while back, and it's now in the possession of Terry Gunter down in Atlanta. Lotsa "experimental" and early production trim pieces on that one! Cool car... even cooler than other Z-16s because of its "early" build status. Unfortunately, it's not in the museum anymore so seeing it in person is not as "easy" as it was a few years ago.
