Do you know what VIN was on that 396? Was it from a Camaro or from that Corvette?

I was also told that they had a hard time selling #22 as a ZL-1 and swapped in a 396. But where did that 396 come from?

I also may have the original cowl air cleaner for #22, muncie and POP book that Al gave me in 2004. I will have to lookup your VIN number on the list.

I also may have a Photo of that car on Al's lot from 1969.

We raced Gary Hansen in 69 when the Roadrunner was still a street car with my friends 66 L79
Chevy II. We raced north of Dodge st on the interstate from Maple st south.

Did I win?

Sorry Gary, not that night. I don’t remember anyone ever beat that Nova except Randy and Frank Woosley’s brother’s 427 67 Fairlane. That was an R code car and he only won by half a car length.
