Beautiful car. Love the Colors. The way I would have ordered it too, especially with the M-22.

That is SO nice! M22, I think out of the approximately 1 million full-size Chevrolets built that year, only 77 had the M22 trans.
Note the exhaust tip exits. As I understand, those unique exits are correct for the 1969 L-72 cars.
That car is pretty much how I would order one if I could go back in time. Maybe manual steering & power front disk brakes for me, but yes, F-41 is smart even on a drag strip. The rear stabilizer helps prevent corkscrewing off the line and will help equalize tire loading.

This same car bid up to $80K at the January Mecum auction in Florida. Reserve was not met. They estimated it to sell for $100-$125k but no luck.
Yes, the 6 is just an estimate that someone extrapolated from other production numbers. I know of more than 6 that are still around. I would bet that there may have been 12 to 15 Biscaynes with L72 M22, but just a guess.
