It's interesting that the Allen invoice is written up the way it is. Dealer invoices usually use COPO nomaclature like "special high performance unit" rather than 427/450 hp. It's written...

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle

Did I mention this is awesome? Not only is it indeed a COPO, tweaked by Dick Harrell, but its also documented with that Bill Allen invoice. Not too often one has to convice an owner his Malibu is...

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle

Yep, I'd say so... MP or MQ. Either one would be a COPO 427 code. Proof enough for me this wasn't any SS or Malibu...Awesome! Hope you have plans for a professional resto on this car, its gonna be a...

I´m not that sure on Chevelle-facts but wouldn´t certain emblem holes or lack of these in the original fenders, combined with the original SS-hood tell us something ? Or did all 1969...

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle

Cool... So that basically means the paint code on the trim tag doesn't really rule out nor confirm anything. Was that 72-72 COPO at an SCR by chance? I'm almost sure I recall seeing one...

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle

I could have sworn there was an orange COPO at an SCR with a 72-72 trim tag, but I may be (and probably am) mistaken. So I guess the only 72-72 COPO Chevelle I know of is this one right here...but I...

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle

He also never took off any SS emblems from the '68 COPO Novas he converted, nor the '68 SS Chevelles he converted, nor the '69 Camaro SS's he converted... so I don't see why he'd go out of his way to...

Harrell converted '68 COPO Chevy IIs to 427 power, so he was definitely aware of the COPO system and had dealers who would supply him. My Baltimore tag is somewhat different and it is...

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle

Seems they could go either way... 72-72 or - -. I'm still putting my money on this DH Chevelle being a factory 427/COPO car.

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle

Fairly certain I've seen at least one other 72-72 paint code on a COPO chevelle. Seems it was at SCR a couple years ago? On orange SS cars I've only seen - - Yet another reason I'm thinking this...

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle

Hmmm.Very interesting...I remember that motor at SCR. Looks legit to me, but I'm far from a stamp expert. I'm still betting this DH car turns out to be a COPO.

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle

So you saved all that paperwork but never took a single photograph of the car when it was new or near new? A few original pics would sure be a help now. Any chance you might have any?

I am confused here ...

they made "plain" Camaros with 12 bolts and 427's

why couldn't they have made a "plain" Malibu with them?

I think there are too many people thinking in...

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle

If it was a Malibu wouldn't it likely have had a 10 bolt in it originally?... I'd be very surprised if they took a new car and swapped in a complete 12 bolt rear end, put an SS hood on it and SS...

Re: RogerD's 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle

If it was a Malibu it should have had lower moldings, and the extended front grill/fender moldings, rather than the wheel lip moldings the SS cars had. What "V8" emblems are you referring to? A...
