I stand by orignal sttement I checked with Jerry MacNeish last night and only 2117 1969 Camaros got the M22. Do the math, that is actually less then 1%.

If Mcneish sais there were 20,302 Z's made in 69 then 10% equals 2000 or so, not 1%.

Are the cars still NOT for sale? Or did I miss something.

[Ziggysdad]

You are not understanding the numbers. In 1969 there were total of 243,000+ CAMAROS built. Only 2117 of them were optionede with a M22 trans. That is the number per Jerry MacNeish. Stuart you did not miss a thing. I have decided that I am not going to sell either car because I know what they are and they are not replaceable. Initially they were offered to make room for another,but I have decided if I want the other car,I will just buy it. I can always find additional garage space.

[Stuart Adams]

Ah, my bad. Sounds like some nice cars you have there.

It's you & Jerry who are not understanding the numbers correctly,and here's why.
In 1969,the only Camaros to <u>possibly</u> receive the M-22 trans. was the 396/375HP L-78 or 302/290HP Z/28.
They made a total of 20,302 1969 Z/28 equipped camaros.
They made a total of <u>4889</u> 1969 SS L-78 equipped camaros.(inc.COPO)
For a grand total of 25,191 camaros that could have <u>possibly</u> received the M-22 trans..
But obviously not everyone of them did,as some got an Auto trans,but Chevrolet didn't keep detailed track of that.
So based on that grand total of cars able to recieve the M-22 and of the 2117 M-22's installed between them,the closest ratio is more like 9%,which = 2267-(which in reality is a lil less as not everyone of them received it)
Still a scarce %,but not your earlier quoted 1%,that's for sure.
That 243K + figure Jerry is quoting you is the total production for ALL 1969 Camaros built..i.e 6 cyl., 2dr. coupe &amp; convert. Of which 100's of thousands were ineligible for the M-22 trans.
