Wasn't the number of 50 units required for NHRA-approval to be run as a Stock class racer? And that was the reason for Gibb ordering 50 of them, to be sure he could go racing.

Did Yenko retail any of the 9560 cars?
What dealer codes result w/ current NCRS searches of the redistributed Gibb car Vins?

I believe that is true about the 50 unit minimum for NHRA.

Pete that is an interesting question. Gibb distributed some of the cars on his own so I believe those would show Gibb as the dealer of record. The cars returned to Norwood were removed from his inventory and GMAC records.

There is no reason to believe Yenko had a ZL1 Camaro. There was no mention of it in the 1987 MCR interview with Don Yenko. 10 of the re-distributed Gibb ZL1s ended up in PA.
