To your point, when could you actually buy a '69 427/425 Camaro from the factory? Few had them from the factory, and I tried to buy one from my dealer - no dice !!! I settled for a 375hp 396 SS Camaro. Later people like Baldwin and Yenko made them. Back in those days NHRA forced the OEM Manuf. to make at least 50 before they would consider them into S and S/S. Geez, where have I heard that lately ????? My SS/EA started out as a 69 6 cyl Camaro.
We have met the enemy and they are US.

There is more than enough info including a picture of Yenko Chevrolets back lot with a whole pile of the 427 COPO cars all of which were factory built. The picture is funny in that they have those cars just lying around like an ordinary car lol.
