Last time I checked, all the manufacturers played this game in the '60s and '70s. And many racers benefited from this. I can appreciate the hard work and years of research. If a new car came into my class I wouldn't be happy, but guess what, that's racing.

Yes sir. COPO 9561 went down the
Chevrolet production line. There were around 1250 COPO 9561 Camaros built in the 1969 model year with the RPO L-72 427/425 big block. There were a few hundred 1969 model COPO 9561 Chevelles that were built with the RPO L-72 427/425 big block. Also in 1969, there were 69 1969 COPO 9560 Camaros built with the 427/430 ZL-1 engine, on the production line. And in 1967, there were 36 Corvettes built with the RPO L-88 427/430, and sold to the general public, and there were also a fairly large number given to road racers.
