I remember these from the mid-60's. In fact, after reading this thread, I
dug through some of my old boxes of model cars and parts from when I was a kid.
And sure enough - I found one, a model I built of an old Fiat gasser-type drag
racer, on which I had mocked up a Turbonique rear axle. Boy, I haven't heard of,
or thought of, these for years!
I don't remember a Z-16 with one, but I wasn't as Chevelle-specific then as
now.
Thanks for the emories!

Now that you mention it, I remember seeing something like that long
ago. Reminds me of Smokey and the Bandit II (I think) when Burt was
floating ideas about a cannonball ride..."How about a Chevy with a pair of
sidewinder missles?"

Kent:
I have an ad from 1965 (1965 Z16 with turbo
rearend) with the turbo rear end. It bolted to the rear and produced some
great ET's. according to the ad the stock z16 produced 1350 HP to rear
wheels and was officially timed @ 149 mph @9.95 ET. the turbo-axle was
produced by Turbonique, inc. Their address was 20 North Kent Street -
Orlando, Florida 32805.the ad states that when you flip the turbo
ignition to standby , your throttle foot can call for that extra power when
you need it - and you get it instantly, because the time lapse from ignition
to full turbine power was 1/20 of a second.the time of 9.95 seconds was @
the Dallas , Georgia Dragstrip July 24, 1965. This probably was the fastest
Z16.
