Mark,
  I'm following this thread with great interest.  I wonder if a redefinition 
of the Street Stock class is in order instead of making your car the 
exception.  What you propose could spell the end of that classification as we know it.
  I'll do you one better.   Some day I'm going to build an exact replica of 
the Super Spyder.  I could then claim the fact that it *was* something Chevy 
produced ( something you can't claim about your 69 Corsa )and would want it 
moved from Radical class into Factory Stock Restored class.  
  I agree that you have a legitimate case if you consider loop holes in the 
rules as fair play.  Reminds me of the time someone within the club tried 
passing off a serial plate alone as a concours entry. ;^)
