I was purusing "The Chevelle SS Restoration Guide" by Paul Herd and came across some production figures in Appendix B,on page 237.

Listed is 500(with a foot note) as production
quantity for the 1967 427/425 hp Chevelle.

The foot note reads: Estimate; 500 were needed to qualify for racing.

Stefano, don't put too much into what is in that book. There is a lot of misinformation. Where he got that figure was from an old magazine article that stated Motion Performance built approx 500 427 Chevelles in 1967 to allow them to run in NASCAR. I don't remember which magazine it was but I have discussed this with some other authors of automotive books and they showed the info to me. I believe this has come up many times before on this forum...........RatPack.............

Thanks Rat_Pack,
I wasn't aware that this was discussed prior. The rehashed stuff must get old quick. I appreciate everyones patients.

It is ironic that I used the book to cross reference some other production figures just last night.

If you want a chuckle ,check out page 156 the lower left hand corner. My copy was published, looks like sometime after 1992. I don't know if there has been a correction since.
