Detroit Michigan will do that to your car.
John Obeginski (Obie) bought this car new from Chumbley Chevy in the Detroit area. He lived in a trailer park off Ecorse Rd in Belleville MI The motor and trans sold in the 70's. If you bought my engine and trans please let me know so I can put it back with the car [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]. It was raced at the Detroit Dragway and Milan maybe someone remembers the car.

Very cool. It will be way nice when done. Was cool to meet George at the SC reunion. Tell him I said hi.

Almost looks like this car has been submerged ... </div></div>

Actually this car was put away in 1971 (!) with 9000 miles and stored in a small shed adjacent to the trailer park (the Obeginskis owned, and still own a trailer park complex in Belleville, a few steps away from the Willow Run plant where I used to work).

The shed's roof began to leak just above the centerline of the front fenders, so the core support and front suspension are considerably more rusty than the rest of the car.

Re: 69 COPO Chevelle
 

do you have black interior on trim tag?

I think the chalk &quot;B&quot; on the firewall is black interior

My orange black top bucket seat 427 Chevelle has the same chalk marks on firewall
I thought &quot;B&quot; was for black top but yours has no black top
I don't think &quot;B&quot; is bench seat because it can't be for both bench and bucket

so I am thinking &quot;B&quot; is black interior maybe for black paint interior trim work

Re: 69 COPO Chevelle
 

Good point Joe. I was told that the &quot;B&quot; was bench and &quot;BU&quot; was bucket don't know how true that is. It is 755 interior .
