Yup, it's a story for sure.

N666604 was final-assembled on or about July 7, 1969.

It was submitted to the CRG data base October 2001, noted as COPO 9561. Was a stripped body at that time, originally orange X44D80. Sold new at Capitol Chev.

That it was raced with a ZL-1 engine does not mean it was built with COPO 9560. Bill Jenkins, Jim Liberman, Dave Arnold, famously raced retrofitted ZL-1 powered '69 Camaros. I have examined many old Camaro drag cars with plenty of owner-added holes for racing equipment.

Ironic, I recently examined an in-process ZL-1 Camaro restoration with the TI hole welded shut. Or, at least it wasn't there...
