That is based off of NCRS information for the dealership and delivery day, the VIN number decode, and an aficionado named Rich that called me right after I bought it who was well-versed in those COPOs. Unfortunately, we lost touch. I am now trying to get the documentation together before I start the full resto on it,so I know what specs I am aiming for during restoration.

So, was N620776 originally a 4 speed or auto? Also, how about a picture of the top gutter track on the side of the roof by the top of the windshield.

A bit of a rookie, see it has been asked twice , what’s the top of the gutter tell you?

Photo 1: Gutter
Photo 2: The holes for a wing. This car is an X44, so it shouldn't have a wing, but the HH is pictured as having one, so the holes don't disprove it being the HH. Also in this pic, rumor has it that after its racing days were over, it was painted blue. As seen, that is the color of this vehicle even though the cowl clearly states it was a 10/10. Photo 3: From what we've gathered, the HH was an automatic. This is clearly an automatic slapstick. |

There are a series of photo's floating on the innerweb that show the creation of the HH, that might help - I just can't find them!
Holes for a wing, don't mean a thing! Goodness, half the Camaro's out there have holes for a wing, neither does an a/t in a 4 hitter car, or blue paint. This is not a 'process of elimination' exercise when Frankie had the original title and VIN, which I don't think matches yours.... I hope I'm wrong, but....

Yeah, I know. None of this stuff "seals the deal". It's just all of the information that trickles in as I'm trying to research this. I am looking for something that can prove it either way. To be honest, it would be a much easier resto if it *isn't* the Hound. If I find out for sure that it is the Huckleberry Hound, then I will have to go insane to get it back to its glory days, bringing history back to life. This isn't a pride thing for me, it's respect to the Hound.

The pictures of HH clearly show it had style trim. Frankie's car was X11 and had style trim.
Yours is X44 - no trim from the factory and no trim now. Not an easy detail to add AND then remove. Can't see how your car could be HH. Especially when the original owner of HH provides the VIN and it's 9N616462. What's for sale in NY - not much.

Yea, I'd probably shift focus away from trying to determine if your car is the HH, and put all your energy on determining if its a COPO.....
The HH story is better left with the current seller in NY.

It's definitely a Wallace Chevrolet COPO. 100%. I have all the documentation for that.
