P.S. Given the absurd cost of the ZL1 option, Chevy didn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of moving the minimum 500 copies required for NASCAR...
BOY is this thread hi-jacked!! Sorry if I'm to blame!!

First of all, 69, we're talkin' 'bout showroom cars...NO mods...
Second of all, alloy blocks were/are NEVER/NOT allowed in NASCAR...your comparitor...
Third (or, if you're new to the country, "turd"...), the BOSS 9 stock, on the street in '69, was an unmitigated SLUG! Bob Brown, from the East Coast, planned to Super Stock race one...until he got it and, as written in SS&DI back in the day, barely broke 13's stock...on F60s with far more tread than the F70-14s on all ZL1s, save two. Fact.
ZL1s, with slicks and headers, ran 11's...Earl Wade only wishes that few mods would have netted THOSE results, way back when...
