Never forget the first time I saw a '69 COPO Chevelle cruising up & down on the Blvd here,and the owner said he was told someone installed a Corvette engine in it.
Ironically,this was in 1980,and Ed Cuneen lived a few blocks away.

Chevy had a problem hiding the 427 COPO Camaros and Chevelles because they had to prove to the NHRA that they made at least 50 so they were legal to race in Super Stock.
The Ford and Chrysler drag racers called out Chevy on the ZL1s saying "there was no way they made 50 aluminum engine Camaros " The Chevelle guys said "They never made any non SS big block Chevelles in 1969"
