the extrapolation method is NOT accurate

ask a math whiz why

Extrapolation will provide a reasonable estimate when no other data is available. Accuracy is relative and better than guessing, suggesting or supposition.

You can use the typical "Car Show" methodology
ONE of ONE
20000 made
300 had consoles
200 were datona yellow
100 had Wide Oval tires
50 had an L78
25 had a red interior
6 had an underhood light
1 was built on the first Tuesday before the dark of the moon.

By the way, no documentation but I have 82 signed owner statements.

Super Chevy in Houston this year. A guy with a hugger orange COPO clone. As I was looking at the car a bystander asked him if it was a ZL1. He said no. It's a ZL2 as this was the iron block version. I started discussing the car with him and asked if it had a BE rear end? He said no, it's a 12 bolt. Two weeks ago I saw the car at the Corvette and Chevy show here in Houston being represented as a real COPO.

ZL2 is the RPO for the cowl induction hood

so ALL (it seems) 69 Camaros are ZL2's [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Extrapolation isn't perfect, but what other estimating method is there? My '69 BB Pace Car has Canadian documentation showing shoulder belts and chambered exhaust. If I use extrapolation to try to figure out how many Pace Cars had either of these options, it's single digits. It seems, however, that a disproportionate number of Pace Cars had shoulder harnesses, and chambered is not uncommon on Canadian Pacers (maybe GM was trying to use up the discontinued chambered inventory by sending it to Canada?). Extrapolation is a starting point.

Great site. Awesome story on the JFK (?) ambulance. One thing IS statistically correct. If anyone is going to find and sell a 1 of 1 car it will be BJ. They have an endless supply...
