Any guess how many of the L78 Camaro's were Pace Cars?

Mike, I can't say that I ever saw an L89 Chevelle back in the day. There was a chevelle with al heads in the next town over,that I thought was factory, but in the last couple of years found that it was sold out of St Louis, and might have been an L88 transplant. A reach could have made it a Dick Harrell conversion.
One L89 Camaro in this area sold new from Lujack Schierbrock in Davenport. No Novas.
I tend to think the 311 is for all models. I would think perhaps Corvettes too?

For our Chevelle, I have a copy of the page from the shipping list with the information on our car. GM Oshawa has the information on microfilm and is where they get the info to document the Canadian cars. Our paperwork clearly shows the L78 option then the 9566AA.

Ken, I do not think the L89 Vettes fall into the 311. All of the publications I have seen for L89 Vettes in 1969 show 390 Corvettes produced with that option.

Cool info Keith and I think you understand exactly what I'm trying to get at!.
Being the Canadian records are the most detailed internal as shipped info available also how it appears both Canadian F &amp; A-Body Copos included L78 before deletions/additions to include Copo packages, lets try and get any and all 1969 F/X and A-Body RPO #'s also relevant Tonawanda shipped by Suffix #'s together here and do some math!.

In looking at the reference I have for the 69 L-89 production, I see the numbers of 311 Camaro, 390 Corvette, &amp; 400 Chevelle.

Just wondering if anyone has numbers from Fran Preves records as too how many L-89 motors were produced at Tonawanda for the 69 model year?
