All of the crap NHRA allows today and they pull stunts like this. Its crazy but I don't have a dog in the hunt. I was just asking. Enjoy !!!!!

I thought you had come to that conclusion a long time ago?
I agree. Toward the end of '69 production that ran into 1970, there were lots of those built. Remember the thousands of pace car painted convertibles and hardtops (with the ugly orange and black houndstooth interiors) that all had ZL2 hoods? In the fall of '69, I looked at dealerships for a friend who was wanting one with a 300hp engine or a 396 and the first four I looked at were 255hp equipped. The best is the car my brother ordered from Cliff Peck Chevrolet in Little Rock with a 350-255, four speed, ZL2 hood, F42 suspension, positrac and spoilers to beat the insurance cost of the SS. Car was delivered in July of 1969 just before he went into the Army.
