The 272# for 1968 and 311# for 1969 was exclusive to the Camaro.

Re: 1969 NOVA SS L-89 ONE OF 311 UNRESTORED ORIG
Whats odd is that the 69 camaro and nova shared the same engine HP code suffix [JH JJ for example is 375HP for both cars]. Im not aware of any other cars being like that. Probably why some have assumed there were combined production #s ?

Re: 1969 NOVA SS L-89 ONE OF 311 UNRESTORED ORIG
In Ralphs defense, I have known Him personally for years, His Ford and AMC collection is concourse with one of the Finest R-code 69's in the world!!!. The information in printed matter is confusing to those not familar with the Bowtie especially with the 69 L-78 production as it lumps the total units produced. This is also true of the 70 model year for the L-78. I don't know how this car was rep'd to Him. I have never seen this car in person to check it out , I completed the sale of his aquiring a Hemi car last Year and He is straight up , on this matter just misdirected by another one of those supposed experts whose mother's, cousins brothers neighbor had one just like it. This site I beleive is to help those who don't know learn and gain knowledge from those who do. At times I see it as a Belittling to Newbies and Novices which just sours the Hobby, Its Ok to have Fun but there is a line that we shouldn't cross. Jim

Jim,
You have me confused, which can be easy to do? 1970 Camaro and Nova L78 production is separate?

The CKO code as well as the CTY code was also used in the Chevelle and Elcamino in 1970. Jim  [/ QUOTE ] The CKO code was also used on the 1970 L78 Camaro and Nova's as well. Rick H.
