She's Home (Ribbon COPO)
 

Its official, I'm now a Supercar owner, even though I have no proof beyond the assumptions that a KQ rear, build date and trim holes point to a COPO. Hearing the owner from 70-78 say that this was a 427 car helps too.

Bottom line, even if this isn't a COPO, its a very solid 69 big block chevelle with under 40,000 miles, one that I helped by best friend rebuild the 396 motor for, one that he already drove down the strip in the high 12's.

And... I've always wanted a 69 Chevelle since college. I had an SS396 for a few years post college, but it needed a lot of work, and an upcoming baby made me sell it for a roof on the house back in 2002.

Now I have a solid one, one that drives like crazy, one that draws a ton of attention (good and bad!), one that my wife loves to drive.

Just wanted to share my joy, and my one pic so far of me driving her, with my 5 year old girl (the baby who forced my SS sale) in the backseat, who I think loves it more than I do!

Bob, very cool... You don't have to prove anything to anyone!! Sounds like the car is the "real deal" to me.. Even if you don't have paperwork you have cool history to go with the car.. maybe I'll see ya around the Cleveland area cruises with her!! Looks great!!

Hope someday all the stars align and you're able to have proof-in-hand of the COPO history. 'Til then, enjoy it AS IS!
