Default Re: Corvette LT1 Debut?

Just had a chance to read the whole post here. Rick is correct, the initial 'mule' of putting an LT1 into the Nova was available for the press day sometime in mid-late '69. The Mule Nova was actually a '69 version, and the press kit noted that 'neat Nova powered by an LT1 - not available to the public'. Perhaps Don keyed off of that, but most of us think what I typed above. The Mule was the COPO test version of Don's request.
