427/4 speed bench seat 68 Pontiac Strato Chief's?
A fellow I worked with used to work for Sinclair Pontiac in London Ontario in the late 60's. He recounted to me that back in 68 Sinclair ordered 7 or 8 427/4speed bench seat Strato Chief's(these were the lightweight Pontiac Sedan) in response to Central Chev's 427 Biscaynes they were ordering and racing at St.Thomas. Not sure if they were 425hp cars. He showed me a picture of one of them that he bought back then (no longer owns). Two questions: Could these be COPO cars? That seems like an awful lot of cars to order unless GM of Canada specified a minimum order. Does anyone know any more about these cars? Any survivors? I'd love to see one of these monsters.
Also, has anyone ever heard of a 427/4speed 69 Strato Chief?
