FOR SALE IS THE WALLY BELL TRIBUTE Z-11 “NEW YORK SHAKER”
$163,500.00
This car was carefully reconstructed with the extensive collaboration and support of Wally Bell.
Other important contributors to this project are Phil Reed, Pat Lobb, Russ Campbell, Scott Cornwall and a host of others. It is doubtful if this undertaking could be done again, considering the rarity and scarceness of original Z-11 components. Without the help of the above-named men, I could never have completed this project.
The Car
Originally a Monaco Blue SS 409 / 4 Speed / blue interior
Media blasted & extensive panel replacement to include entire floor and trunk… Both rear quarters, …upper package tray extension to trunk… Lt. Cowl, ..both complete rear wheel houses…outer rocker panels

Hush Mat covers entire interior floor.
Engine
Built by McQuillen Racing Engines
Standard 814 block (QB not QM)
Block was over bored .030 with a 4-inch stroker crank. Special order Ross pistons that were friction coated were used in the build. Hydraulic Roller camshaft….Special order TD roller rockers (a one-off order)…Beehive valve springs
valve springs over SS valves…Block WAS NOT DECKED, nor needed line-bore.
Heads were original OEM with stock valves and springs before rebuilding. NEVER milled or ported as usually found in Z-11 heads. Perfect in every way.

OEM Z-11 distributor converted to Pertronix with MSD (for rev limiter) in Glovebox…Air cleaner is a DIRECT Repo that was made during some early original Z-11 restorations. There were only 4 made, and all are believed to be on prominent known restorations. ( There may have been as many as 8 air cleaners made. Depends on who to talk to)…correct numbered and dated alternator with correct alternator fan and pulley
This engine was purposely detuned as I drove it on the street for a summer. The final measured compression ratio is 9.6 to 1…All pulleys are correct…fuel pump rebuilt and re-numbered for the Z-11…Original OEM Z-11 Oil Pan…Every effort was made to build the engine compartment to appear OEM. Original engine components are ALL October thru November 1962 as found on Z-11’s…Transmission is the correct BW T-10 with the proper nickel gears…
