Re: 1969 427 Nova
#'s have been misconstrued over the years. they never built 500 69 Cyclone Spoilers to compete in Nascar yet they were allowed. #'s have indicated that something like 313 were actually built. Nascar also mandated 2000 Superbirds be built in 70 but the # actually built is in the upper 1900 range. of coarse we know the Boss 429's were NOT installed on the assembly line but at place were conversions were done. lets say (for the sake of converstation) that Don Yenko did indeed build 50+ 427 Novas in 69. would it then be legal in NHRA? i also remember Kevin Suydam suggesting that perhaps his Nova was a COPO and built at Chevrolet. would this play any role on being factory supported?
