Fairy Tale. Dealers ordered Z11s just like any other car, for stock or to customer specs. Program cars were around then too, sometimes called "Brass Hat" cars. Ask any Chevrolet dealer in business back then and they will tell you Z11s were sale-proof. Many of them were in stock long after the '500'.

Fairy tale, OK!
Surly you base this opinion on more then hear say from dealers. Dealers are the absolute WORST source for information. I am not going to get in a pissing match here. All I can say is I had more then three hundred 1969 Pace Cars in The Registry, and extrapolate my numbers from those registered's. I also have restored half a dozen real cars including one legit big block we gave away! As far as other information, I did work on 2 complete issues of 64 pages dedicated specifically to Pace Cars. But to be honest, I have forgotten a tremendous amount. So maybe I am wrong, just disregard my previous post.
