<VV> Help with production numbers for 140/150/180HP engines

[Mike Stillwell]

 Not all '67 COPO 140's became Stingers. The 97 number came from research that I beleive Newell found, based on 140 motors built in '67. Kasey's Dana car is a non-Stinger COPO 140. Gary Ganselle (sp?) in PA has a '67 Gold Sedan with a COPO 140 PG in it. I think Craig Nicol's '67 Sedan he sold a few years ago was also a COPO 140 '67. They are out there.
 The current thinking is that there were only 11 '67 Stingers built, with 110, 111 and 112 sharing their identities with other '67's. I spoke with Michael LeVeque, Chris Langley and Bob Dunahugh about this over the past few months. 
 I know... clear as mud.
