Idle thoughts/ What is a Supercar??

[NWYENKO]

Sitting here on a NW rainy afternoon and was wondering about the definition of "Supercar" Does this include L79 Novas and Chevelles, what about L78's, 283/283 fuelies, 409/425, Z28's? Just thoughts for a rainy day.

Start with a Pony car.
Step up to a Muscle car.
Reach for a Super car.

The definition for "Supercar" for this site is "Chevrolet dealer built Supercars and COPO cars"......HOWEVER..if you take it back a few years when pony cars were barely on the drawing board...there were those wonderful Z-11's,Pontiac Super Duty's,Lightweight Galaxies,Super Stock MoPars...those were indeed Supercars by anyones definition.Head down to your local dealer and buy factory built aluminum front end,drilled frames,acid dipped....factories definitely took the big cars to their ultimate place before the pony cars arrived.Bet the engineers were glad to see them arrive...wonder what they would have thought of next to shed weight and go faster.

Not to be a pest but my question is " what is a Chevrolet built Supercar" ? I am really trying to learn the correct terminology. As far as i am concerned Chevrolet has built a lot of Supercars!!!!

[COPO PETE]

I have to agree with Belair62. I believe his definition is 99% correct. Any dealer built performance car and almost all COPO's. All COPO's with a performance engine would qualify. Special order paint through the COPO program would not apply. I believe a 396/375 Daytona Yellow Chevelle painted through the COPO program would not be a "Supercar". And obviosly taxi cabs, telephone trucks and what not would not be. Although the tri- power Police cars that went to Nevada I think would certainly qualify.Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. NWYenko, according to your picture, you have two "Supercars" although the other one looks super too.

Pete - what's the story on the 3-deuce Nevada police cars ?? Don't know that I have ever heard that story ?????

Pete and Bob;
I agree 100%!!

NWYENKO;
Nice L79, I really like them. I passed up a nice '66 L79 Nova and a nice '69 L78 Nova to buy my Yenko. The guy selling the two Novas thought I was crazy, telling me that the L79 was more rare than the Yenkos! I told him only if it was a '67 L79 Nova.

Casey; Never seen one but in the Dec/Jan 98 issue of MCR, the one with my three cars on the cover, Tom did an interview with Jim Mattison. He talks briefly on this subject. I'd like to see you Dodge boys outrun that unit.
