    The magic of the ZL1 engine was weight savings. An aluminum 427 block was quite a thing in 1969. The aluminum engine block introduced several headaches with cooling and tuning, and some drag racers replaced the engine with an iron block 427.

      @@JimS870 I never said that aluminum was wrong for cooling. I said making the block out of it introduced cooling headaches. There's a subtle difference. Just for a second think of heat cycling. If you're not understanding the difference, I'm not going to spend the next twenty minutes typing. You're online, look into it.

      Metallurgy for one. The aluminum alloys of the time were not all that great for the thinwall casting technology of the day. The aluminum blocks would get more distorted than an iron block when they heated up. @@JimS870

    I remember seeing a 427 COPO Nova up for sale for $5000 Canadian (up in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) in the local AutoTrader back in the late 1970s. However, back then no one even knew what COPO meant.... Most of us small town locals were all into Hot Rod Magazine which meant Hooker Headers, Edelbrock Cams, chrome Cragar S/S 5 spoke rims, and B&M shifters.....
    Back then, one could also buy a used BOSS 429 Mustang or a 440 Superbird for $5000 as the oil prices had everyone worrying that we were going to run out of crude oil and buying a cheap 4 or 6 cylinder was the only way to go.....

Back then was looking at a 66 L-72 corvette but he was 25 and insurance was as much as the car payment so he narrowed it down to a 69 SS 396 Nova but the clutch was worn and the guy wouldn’t come down on price so he settled for the Camaro at the same price. His cousin owned a 69 COPO Chevelle at the time. There’s more powerful cars today BUT the experience at least to me is TOTALLY Different the Sounds, Smells, and the Feel.

      A buddy had one 70 or 71 if I recall. He rebuilt the 396 with the hands on 'help' of his dad (an old hot roder) . Buddy was trying to keep the Nova pretty streetable, his dad had other plans. The old boy was a terrorist at the parts counter when buying components.. Once warmed up the car idled not too bad at 900 RPM. Buddy followed the break in period religiously. Right around 1,000 miles in his dad asked to take it for a spin which he did. About 3 hours later he got back home and told his son while handing him $250 'That ought to cover a pair of tires." (in the mid 70's it would) On his next drive the rear tires were almost slicks and the gas tank was full. I'd call that a pretty cool dad. Shifting into 3rd that 396 would set you back into the seat real hard and keep you there until it was time for 4th.

    And a few cars owned by Chevy engineers are even more rare and more powerful. As the owners die off, these cars get passed down, but still most are not known. Occasionally one will be seen at the Gratiot Cruise or Woodward Cruise. Licensed and on the road or occasionally without license or even VIN. They are real. They exist. And there were dealers that ordered and/or build one or two cars that remain widely unknown. They may or may not still exist. I have seen a couple. Documentation is the problem with such cars. But they were built and some are out there. When found, they are identified as "clones" or otherwise by "experts".

    In 1969 Dick Harrel also built 1 of 1 Nova 427 ZL1, I would not know about it except I seen it with my own eyes in a Chevrolet Showroom New in 1969. I was still in school and had no money for a double price Nova, back in 1969 a new Nova SS 396/375HP was $3300.00, this Nova was double that cost. But I was able to sit in the car and dream.

    A good friend of mine had a 350 HP 1967 Chevelle Super Sport 4 speed with buckets. He lost a couple times but not when I was with him although we did have a few close ones. The 375 HP 396's had solid lifters and required adjustment often is why people didn't order too many. These days they sit in the garage most of the time so everyone wants them.

    Nice presentation. You made a few mistakes, but that's OK, it's just youtube.
    The COPO cars were not "rare", they were special order vehicles not available to consumers. Sort of like fire trucks and such. The L78 engines were not replaced by "L72" 427s, they're top ends were swapped to 427 short blocks.

    • @melodigrand
      @melodigrand 7 месяцев назад

      Yes! Swapping the short block was the cost effective way to go 427. If you could find a cooperative dealer you might order a Nova SS three speed with the 350 hp 396 and have the dealer swap in the L36 427 short block. You might drive away a 427 Nova for a bit over $3,000.

    I'd like a 62 Z11. I believe they were assembled with factory provided parts after the fact. A ZL1 Corvette (1969) would be the rarest. Its either two or three of them. I would settle for a Z16. No mention of the Mystery engine cars of 1963 (?). They were the predecessors of the 396/427. L88's? I passed on a 1967 L89 Corvette. Only 16 made...a 427 435 with L88 heads. I thought too much money at the time.

It was a 4 speed with bench seat and 456 rear gear. It was rated at 375hp @ 56 hundred rpm with solid lifters that I was always adjusting! If I'm not mistaken, a few 1965 Chevelle SS were built with the original 396 Mark IV engines with the original horsepower rating of 425hp. I had a couple of friends that also had 66SS cars with the L-78 option.
