1963 Z06 air scoops

Re: 1963 Z06 air scoops

In the late 80's I took a sample of 57 front scoop material (compliments of Frank Buck) to Gates Rubber in Denver, their headquarters building was magnificent to say the least but the 3 or 4 engineers I met at the time looked at my sample and were unable to help me.

By the way, the scoops, GM #3821849 and 3821850, were available in SERVICE until June, 1971 when they were discontinued without supercession. At that time they carried a GM list price of $13.10. That equates to $73.64 in today's dollars.

Joe; If a set was worth that kind of money, I would surely find a way to reproduce them exactly ! The repros are not that bad and cost $300 and 99% of the judges would not know the difference between repros and originals......I am will to step up and pay for a set of NOS ones only because they are for my Z06 tanker and it deserves them. I will keep looking and one day i will find them.......andy

The Z-06 we restored had yellow lettering on the scoops. It was in the 13,000 -15,000 VIN range. I have the VIN here somewhere but don't even know where to start looking.

Is that the Helms car? I have the VIN too, somewhere. I think that car is in the 8000 range?

Need pic's of an NOS set?

I though it was later than that, I think it was a Feb or March car, but my memory is a fadin' fast

Re: 1963 Z06 air scoops

Yup, pretty sure February and in the 8000 or 9000 VIN range.

Re: 1963 Z06 air scoops

Hello fellas; I am looking for some help in finding some ORIGINAL conveyor belt material that GM used in 1963 to fabricate the front air scoops used on the Z06 brakes. I have photos showing the texture of both sides of the rubber. It has a frabric showing on one side and black rubber like the skin on an elephant on the other. I am sure that there is a roll of this stuff in a ware house some where in this country, I just need some help finding it or a pair of NOS original scoops. If anyone can help in this hunt, please contact me. Thanks so much, Andy

This is a shot in the dark...but..I seem to remember reproduction 53 - 55 muffler hangers used some type of conveyor belt rubber and fabric material the clamps were attached to. Maybe you could check with the aftermarket supplier of these hangers to track down where they get the rubberized fabric material.

Re: 1963 Z06 air scoops

Joe; Look again at the photos and you will see that they do have the part numbers on them in YELLOW ink.....
