323 built as per Musclecar...for the 69' Chevelle COPO 427..(Not 31 as I incorrectly stated).
This is a 69' Camaro COPO thread. The Fred Gibb/Dickie Harrell car ran at the 69' AHRA Winternationals, at Bee-Line, Arizona in January 69.
Knocked off Sox & Martin, and made it to the finals, before getting beat by Arlon Vanke...Set ET record for SS/E (Super Stock Experimental) at that event.

It's pretty obvious that this is a COPO Camaro thread.
Again, reliable sources state between 350-375 Chevelles were built, factory order records show at least 350, and up to 375, with 99 going to Don Yenko, 55 being bench seat 4 speed cars and 37 being TH400 equipped, the other 7 being of other various combinations.
We race a COPO replica in Stock, we have both combinations, the L-72 and the ZL-1, so I'm pretty well aware of the Camaro orientation of this thread.
The ZL-1 was built to run in SS/B, the L-72 Camaro was built to run in SS/C, and they needed a car to run SS/D, so Piggins decided to put the L-72 in the Chevelle to run SS/D.
