To tell you the truth, I have no idea, and I do not think anyone else does either. Do you go on what Don said, or Vince, or Warren, or Joe C., or "the list" of 107 I have? How do the non-converted cars fit in, are they Yenkos?

Case in point(s). Don said in an interview that he built 500 units in '69 , which seems to be Camaros, there is even a sign. We have numbers for 199-201 Camaros, would be closer to 500 if we added up all of the '69s, so who do we believe? I say 199 Camaros, 99 Chevelles, 40ish '69 Novas, with an * that there could be more, just have not seen proof yet. Same with the '69 Novas, the magic number was 37, but we know of one not on the list with bullet proof paperwork, so there goes that number. Yes, the car was sold non-converted, but so were others on the list. What does this info do to that list?

See where this is going?

I could have kept the info I had private, and just thrown numbers out as others have done, but felt it best for the hobby for me to go public. Makes for some very interesting discussions, but at the end of the day, we will always wind up back at square one, which is lots of ?????, but few answers.

This is why I say it is easier, and best, to simply list how many are known to exist.
