Joe - I'm a packrat for sure and I have pictures of my '66 Chevelle SS (3 Polaroids) but have not located one single picture yet on the '69 DHPC. I've asked relatives and friends to search but again, so far not one single picture. I've also asked friends who rode in the car to register and leave comments - hopefully, we will have the favor of their post some time in the not too distant future! I am searching for a fellow from Gallatin who (one early summer evening in 1970 on Hwy 13 between Gallatin and Hamilton, MO) met more than his match. He was driving THE HOT DODGE in Gallatin - believe it was tricked out - never had a chance with my plane/Jane orange V8 Chevelle. . .

That's great Roger. Congratulations on getting your car back. I can't imagine how excited you must have been when you found it. Which I'm sure took some serious research.

Sadly, since the interior is now a different color, the original seats are long gone. And at the least, if they were recovered, they most likely wouldn't have put the build sheet back.

Did your car come with the sleeper dog dish caps, or did it have the SS wheels on it?

the invoice states " spec. wide stance wheels 14 x 7" I guess that could be either ... but *I* would not think plain dog dish wheel would be considered "special" (at least back then when all the "cheapie" cars had them ... )

and to the other person that asked if it had disc brakes or not, the invoice states "large power disc brakes"

also interesting to note is that it included "hood locks", simply reading the laundry list they have on the invoice answers a lot of the questions asked :

Roger has already stated it had rally wheels on it, possibly the ones still on the car.

Had a set of keys made today using the codes listed on the Dealer Invoice (that detail has been blanked out) - I'll update the post later this evening with the results. I am optimistic they will fit (that will save me the cost of new locks and Ignition switch)!

I took the pic of the block at SCR9 (2006) when some guys drove in from, was it Texas?, and had the engine for sale. Some people questioned it but I could not see anything strange with it, other than that it was a Kansas block. There is another thread about this engine, which I can´t find, where another member of this board shows more pics of the engine.

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.

Would be interesting to determine the casting number and date range on this if it can be routed out . . .
Thanks - RogerD

Here's a picture of the Cowl tag on my 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle . . .

[/ QUOTE ]

Welcome Roger and congrats on finding your original car..
Really nice to see you're w/ your original wife too!.

Not absolute but the Cowl Tag 'L' and '72/72' both lead to speculation it was originally an SS car before DH laid his magic hands on it..

Does anyone know of genuine Copo's w/ the 'L' also if any Copos shipped in Monaco Orange or Daytona Yellow had the 72 or 76 on their tags or '--'?.

Also there's at least one known existing genuine Kansas Copo Chevelle isn't there?.

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 was more than an SS from the beginning. Any of you Chevelle guys know of any 72-72 coded 69 Chevelles?
