[/ QUOTE ] That doesn't make much sense either. Let's take an already high ticket car and tear it to pieces, toss this 302 in the corner of the shop and plop this 427 between the fenderwells and go racing.
Let's keep in mind that Joel Rosen built hi-performance cars because he made $$$ doing it. It just doesn't make sense making an expensive car even more expensive by removing the drivetrain that made it what it is in the first place. '67 Z/28's were very rare, already high performance cars that sold themselves...while lowly 327 or even 6 cyl cars sat on Baldwin's lot ripe for the picking, and they were cheap too. Add a $5-600 L-88 crate and it's off to the races. Joel was no dummy, my money's still on it being a regular old small block car at best. Any figures on stripe delete '67 Z's? Of 602 I'd guess about 15-20 at best, any way you figure the odds are certainly against this car being one of those. Just my 2 cents. Wish I was around back then to see for myself.
