Re: Joe Sorenson
 

In my collector car days, I owned a nicely optioned 69 Z. It's been a long time, but somehow I remember the cowl hood option number was stamped onto the firewall trim tag. Problem is, GM was not consistent throughout their plants. Mine was built in Norwood. And as I learned from the collector arena, a whole lot of people would change or even counterfeit the tags to get the car the way they wanted and still claim originality.

As for the GM guy thinking that cowl hoods were plentiful, this was when I was most active on the streets and at the track. The Z28 was very popular by then and I saw a lot of them. In my experience, less than half I saw had the cowl option. Remember, these cars were being bought by young guys who barely had the money for one and it also wasn't even a full year option.


Came back to add: I was seriously into restoration and research. The only "ringer" hood I ever ran across with documentation from the era it was built was on 67 Corvettes. During the production run, some idiot left a screwdriver (used to remove the hood from the mold) in the small block flat hood mold and then closed it, ruining the mold. Those took a lot of time and effort to make and GM didn't have a spare. So there were some 67 327 Corvettes that came off the line with the big block raised hoods.

And the AMC parts numbers. In 69, I owned a 68 AMX. At every AMC dealer parts department, there was a supplement to the parts book which contained performance parts. It was called Group 19. The intake and carb were definitely listed there with an AMC part number. Yes, not production line but we all know what's happened with replacement parts these days.

Frank, were you always this stupid or is this stupidity a result of old age and senility?

1 week ago you called for my immediate ban in this thread, from this forum and now you're asking me to answer your questions. :rolleyes:

Oh yea, GO **** YOURSELF.

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

Not stupidity or senility, just a weak moment and it will never happen again. I promise sweetheart.

Frank, if that is some kind of threat, BRING IT!

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

Joe Sorenson is a perennial top qualifier and now he's the world champ. I remember some people on here saying being fast in your class doesn't matter from a statistical standpoint and almost never contributes to winning races. I wonder how many singles and heads up wins Joe has racked up this season.

No threat bro. I don't roll that way. Send me a PM and let's talk this out.
