A guy in my town bought one new from the Chevy dealer. It was a factory mistake.

Wait, come to think of it, it was a secret police special that civilians weren't supposed to be able to buy.

Never mind, it was really an experimental test car that wasn't supposed to be sold. Men in suits from GM kept showing up trying to get the car back.

I think that covers all the BS I used to hear back in the day.

I'm pretty sure the 396 chevy ll was in the guide for a while but you had to have the signed letter by Zora Duntov...or was it Shelby...anyway you could get it. You just checked the box for option J99 which was also known as the "unobtainium" option.

Little known fact----> 20 1985 split window stingrays were made with LS7's for area 51(for chasing land based UFO's I heard) and 1 went missing and was reported to be hidden in a "corvette museum". They found the location and instead of stealing it back, they(black suited guys) used their "earth crumbler" to make a big sinkhole under the museum. A bunch of priceless vettes were damaged but the public is none-the-wiser and they got it back to area 51 without being seen.
True story, google "corvette sinkhole". In one of the pic's, in the corner there's a blurry blob which is one of the aliens they used to run the earth crumbler and make the hole.
