Default Re: 69 Big block camaro

Hello Jeff, Sad thing about the car is its pick over pretty well over the years. I first purchaced the car in 1984.(rusted up then)After about 10 months sitting behind the garage,the gas tank fell out of it.I had another 69 that i was working on. I started to parts from it. There was no Motor or trans in the car when i purchaced it. No cowl hood either but i did remove the trottle arm . It was the type for the cowl switch to be mounted. I used that along with the big block heater box, Big block frame mounts, front disc brake assy on my other project camaro.At this time, i was not aware of COPOs . My intentions for this car was parts only. ( i needed the disc brake set-up)The car had a 12 bolt in it which i did not take out(gone now) Multi-leaf springs, no rear spoiler but a cool mural painted on the trunk lid, Black rear panel w/ bowtie emblem, black rocker panels w/ rocker crome, Car is garnet red w/ simulated vinyl top(black wrinkle finnish)w/ odd 67 camaro vinyl top crome.400 turbo cross member which was in the trunk . It had standard black interior, AM radio, Dash gauge cluster has speedo, standard fuel gauge, gear selector which shows 3 speed auto.PRND21. (Still have that part)Of course it was auto on the column.The paint seemed to be original. Serious lacqer cracks back in 84. No engine size emblems on front fenders.(were not filled in) could have been replaced.Silver front grill. There are no bumpers on the car now but i do recall the rear bumper had a very faded decal right in the center.Could not make it out but shaped like a bow tie emblem. The trim tag is long gone but i do remember it was an X44 car, the paint code was correct as well as the 711 interior code. There was no radiator. I did notice at that time the big block heater box and core seem to be original. Thank you for responding to my Question. There are so many things to this car that make wonder. Like i said before, Its just a rough shell(to bad) now. not much good except (maybe) a rebody if it could be verified as a COPO
