Which Stock Eliminator rule was changed exclusively to let the factory cars participate?

The only differences between a COPO and a Camaro in Stock Eliminator legal trim are the motor and the hood. There were several cars built in the late sixties specifically for Stock that fit the same format. The A12 Mopars come to mind.

There are a few combinations that I think should not have made the cut. But honestly, what are the automakers doing today that is so different from 1969?

This continual bashing of legal cars is getting old.
