Default 69 COPO or?

[b] Found this '69 427 article in Dec.'83 Classic Sixties magazine.
The story never really states if its real. Is it, and where is it today?

Why would someone clone one back in 83? And especially look that correct under the hood!

Seems to me that I recall this being a real COPO. Not much faking going on back then because they prices weren't through the roof. Besides, most people didn't even know what a COPO was back then. Up until about 5 years ago, people were still arguing about what COPO meant.

I remeber seeing that name Jay Nixon before in the magazines back then. I think he may have had a very nice black 1969 Chevelle as well.
I also think it may have been before the clone builders got involved so I would bet that this car was real.

Jay was very prominent with the NCOA & Mark Meekins back then.
