COPO AQUISITION
Well The Deal is done and the Car now resides next to my Shelby COBRA. For Now anyway!! a Great Car that has not been on the circuit for a long time. Even being a FORD Guy I really appreciate this awesome car. It was with a great sense of Pride that I summoned my 2 biggest Chevy Nut Neighbors over to check it out. She has the Solid red tail lights. rare Space saver spare mounted on a Rally Rim, and GREEN Interior! This is the COPO that was featured in "The 1969 Camaro Reference Guide" A-Z By John R. Hooper in 1991. The previous owner would not let that or the custom license plate, "69COPO" go with the car as his copy was signed by the author to him. so if anybody out there wants to part with their copy, let me know. It is a pristine example showing just 23,500 miles on the odometer. Even Ed Cuneen was shocke dto learn that I was able to get this car. As was another local Camaro nut who kept asking me, "How did you convince him!!??!!" Word to the wise. always follow up on these "I'll Never Sell it" Cars. Eventually they do get Sold.
 The last guy had this Car for 20 Years. I am not sure how long it will last in the FORD Garage, But it is by Far the Coolset Damn Chevy I will EVER own!!  Here is a Link to some Pictures. http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrow...der_id=1239068

Re: COPO AQUISITION
White wouldn't be my first choice but the more I look at this car the more I like it in white. The endura sure helps too. Sa-weet! Oh, and those pitted old headers are very cool.

Re: COPO AQUISITION
Were was the car located? I had a friend look at a car for me, it was located in Upper Darby, PA. It was the same colors, the owner of the car work at a auto repair center on Marshall and Bermont road. I passed on the car because it did not have any documentation or certification and the rear and trans were incorrect and the block had no #'s according to his inspection. The POP in the glove box was from an Impala. Can't be the same car could it??? Where was the car located? Do you have any documentation or certification.?

Re: COPO AQUISITION
This is why you should look at cars yourself. Your Friend gave you Bad information, if he was even able to see the car at all. the numbers are stamped into the rough cast on the Block. This Car is THE CAR in the 1969 CAMARO REFERENCE GUIDE by John R. Hooper as the example of a COPO CAMARO. They spent Hours pouring over the car confirming Part numbers and Date codes. The former Owner is no Fool and neither am I. the car has been to numerous Chevy shows and won many awards. please refrain from discussing my car in a negative light as you have never seen it.
