I loved those Super Stock AMX cars; still do love 'em!. They ran SS/D and would have battled with some pretty stout competitors including 427 Camaro's and some Hemi cars.
The story of the "skunk works" update package is interesting. I know for a fact that Oldsmobile's D.Dale Smith also sent update items to some of the Olds teams, but I can't say if new VIN tags were included. I DO know that NHRA was a lot more strict in their rules those days compared to today in what was/wasn't allowed in terms of engine/body parts.

Yes, actual full AMC VIN Tags were sent denoting 1970 code.
MSO's , manufacturers statement of origin (factory title) were available upon "request" as well. The funny thing is, at the time of his death, he still retained all of the factory update parts both cosmetic and mechanical. He also mentioned all the tags, papers, shipping docs, boxes, special containers , guideline papers, certification etc he had stashed away....... Even more funny,,,,,, "stupid, actually" , is in 1987, he offered me the car, parts, racing suits, docs and all the spares he had for $15,000.........Duh. I had just bought a 70 Z/28 & a 69 Z/28.......the bank of Dad was closed .......
