Yes, they were talking about one on the Yenko.net site a week or so ago. On a 69 Z owned by Warren Malkin ( may have is last name spelled wrong).

Warren's car has the fiberglass cross-ram hood with single-carb adapter plate and special air cleaner. Production carb and manifold.

Those have to be ultra rare parts.

From my archives, a picture of Pete Estes 68Z Vert sporting the Crossram hood with a single carburetor but the oval crossram air cleaner filter. Not trying to outdo Warrens car, just for comparison.

I am lucky enough to now own Warren's car. Up till Warren's car I had never seen a snorkleless cowl induction air cleaner or the adapter plate that bolts to the crossram hood. Warren was a special guy.

So let me see if I have this right.

Warren's car has the fiberglass cross-ram hood with single-carb adapter plate and special air cleaner.

The intake manifold and carb are regular production items for a Z28. It’s not a cross ram intake with a single 4 barrel adapter. Correct?

I’m intrigued about Warrens car. Did he work for GM? When someone says “they never made one” or “it never got out of the proving grounds”, I stay silent and smirk.

No. He bought the Z from the orig. owner that was the director of SCCA back then. Warren lived and breathed rare Camaro stuff and  was second to none with his knowledge.

So what is the origin of the hood story? Instead of tossing 500 questions at you, I’ll wait for your reply.
