Re: 1969 Camaro double COPO (ebay)
If my memory serves me correct, "BV" is 4.10 posi for both Nova and Camaro? I was having trouble reading anything on that protect-o-plate. What else does it show?

Re: 1969 Camaro double COPO (ebay)
Man, you guys got a better screen than me! Is it a X11 or a X44? Almost reads X11 on my screen!

Re: 1969 Camaro double COPO (ebay)
BE would be 410 in a Camaro

Re: 1969 Camaro double COPO (ebay)
Are the COPO Camaro 'BE' rears stamped that neatly? I know the '70 COPO Novas certainly aren't.

Re: 1969 Camaro double COPO (ebay)
Can anybody read the engine code on the P-O-P? I didn't think the rear code looked like BE, but it's not a very clear picture.

Re: 1969 Camaro double COPO (ebay)
I messed with the picture in Photoshop and found that the rear code is BE and the engine suffix is MN. If you look at the upper left of the POP you can see that it has the H for a Holley carb. The date code for the engine was blurry but it may possible be TO521MN and the rear code may read as BE0519G. The month of manufacture on the POP shows to be a 5 which is May. Why is the rear end stamped as a February build date? Whomever restamped the axle tube may have read the 5 as a 2 on the POP since it is read backwards. I know I have done this many times before when trying to read a POP. I could not make out the VIN no matter what I tried but my guess is 124379N645657 which would put the car into the month of May for production.
Why doesn't someone email the seller for the info off of the POP? Oh well........RatPack....... |

Re: 1969 Camaro double COPO (ebay)
One other thing, the car is an X11 body code on the trim tag also note it has the 1/4 panel louvers, drip rail moldings, taillight vertical chrome trim, and headlight bezel chrome trim: wheel opening moldings and the rocker moldings have been removed at some time. Another thing to note on the trim tag is the build date is 05E. So the rear is definitely a restamp or out of another car, my bet is a restamp. Neat car anyways....RatPack........

Re: 1969 Camaro double COPO (ebay)
Charlie, isn't BE for a heavy duty positraction 4.10 rear and BV for a standard duty positraction 4.10 rear, even in Camaros? Bob F. up here has a '69 L78 car with a BV rearend in it. It seems to have a correct drivetrain with all the date codes falling into the right timeframes. (I spent an hour or two going over the car for an appraisal a couple of weeks before he bought it). I thought all COPO's were BE. If the pop says "BV", would that make this suspicious, or just another exception to the rule?
Oh, yeah, as for the above BE stamped rear, I'll go on record saying I've NEVER seen a rearend stamped that deep, that evenly spaced, or that easy to read. |
