And how many 70 Copo's have been found to date? vs, how many do we think were produced (500 or so?)?

I think perhaps 250-500 someplace in there. Piggins told me in 1985 that they needed 1000 for SCCA, but had "cheated the hell out of them" with the big problem being fit problems on the line pertaining to vendor AO Smith.

Perhaps the better question is how many of the original cars have actually survived two seperate time periods the late 80's and today where the majority of restorations completed on a 70 Z-28 require the addition of a short spoiler reguardless of what the car came with stock.

As late as a couple of years ago information on the 9796 option was limited to hard core Camaro people only. Heck in the mid 90's I was getting hammered at Super Chevy by the judges for the "wrong spoilers" "not availible till '71". It has been an up hill climb to correct the record and inform folks on these cars. Things really broke wide open two years ago when I re-discovered the Mechanix Illustrated article actually showing a picture of one of these rare cars being road tested.
