It's right around the corner from me (3 miles from the old house, about 8 now), but I don't have any info for you.

Kurt, I spoke with their high performance salesman (worked for Chumbley from 1968-1970) and he insisted they didn't order any 427 COPO Camaros or Chevelles directly from GM. He thought my 427 Chevelle must have been a dealer trade to Chumbley. Is this consistent with your findings?

Thanks for the info Pete! Things are good, still collecting parts for the Chevelle. To my surprise, I have been totally unsuccessful in finding dealer 'stuff' from Chumbley even though I only live ~50 miles away.
