1969 COPO Chevelle Question
 

Can someone lend assistance as to how I can determine a 1969 COPO Chevelle from a regular Super Sport. Does the Cowl Tag reveal any relevent information?
Sorry, if questions sound stupid; however, not familar with COPO vehicles.


Cowl Tag as follows:
ST69 13637 BAL 161444

TR 795 65 E PNT

11D B L074899


Thanks,
Steve

Do you have a Vin # handy?

Re: 1969 COPO Chevelle Question
 

Vin# 136379B326463

Thanks,

The VIN looks to be pretty early. Check with the COPO Connection website for the list of known VINS. Most of the COPO Chevelles were built pretty late in the production run. Ours was near the end of July. Yenkos could be considerably earlier.

have you found somthing on the car that leads you to believe it is a 427 COPO Chevelle?

Re: 1969 COPO Chevelle Question
 

Joe,

I was advised the car has a 427/425 motor which supposedly is matching number. Also, I was told it came from the factory with a 4.10 gear. Going to inspect the car this week. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve

The COPO cars came with an KQ code rearend. The 396 cars came with a KK 4:10 rearend. The engine would be coded MP for an automatic and MQ for a four speed application.

Thanks all.

I'll let you know what I find.

Thanks all.

396 car with KK axle and 1970 454 block.

Re: 1969 COPO Chevelle Question
 

What is the casting Date on the rearend housing of that Chevelles KK rearend?

Re: 1969 COPO Chevelle Question
 

Just a quick heads-up on this car...

After several failed attempts on Ebay, the owner is now shopping this car around as a "matching numbers" COPO Chevelle, complete with original KQ rear, and possibly a new trim tag...according to those looking at the car last year, it was a 396 car with a KK rear with a '70 454 in it and an 11D build date. There's a LOT more to this story than I care to get into, but if you're bored, here's some more info:
