Apart from the fact that you seem to have utterly missed the point I was
making, you really are an illiterate ****wit.

I've never seen a Chevelle with a 427 in it.

My Top three Choices are 1957 Chrysler 300 C and 1957 Ford Fairlane 500
and 1958 Chrysler Imperial.Two door hardtops.Chrysler and Ford - Ford
and Chrysler.I don't want any of that foreign brand name stuff.Anything
other than that, I might as well be like Slim Pickens, How I Learned To
Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb.

"In 1969, several dealers took advantage of the Central Office Producion
Orders (COPO) to receive some impressive muscle cars. The Chevelle was
among the Corvette and Camaro which got the potent 427 this way."

Now on the other hand I have seen a Corvette and a Camaro with a 427.

A friend of my Dad had the Vette, and as a teenager a friend on mine was
gonna buy a '69 Camaro with a 427 in it....until his Dad test drove it.

That thing was scary fast and he wouldn't let him buy it.

It's the combination of "scary fast" and "handles like a walrus on the
turns" that is so terrifying.

The Chevelle's handling made the Camaro seem responsive in comparison.

Really, this is a terrible, terrible way to die.
