Pete, I am pretty sure this is the car that Mario had for sale at Early Birds in Toronto. I will verify the VIN tonight. I looked at the vehicle for a gentleman from the USA. Fathom green exterior, dark green interior with NOS front end and NOS trunklid. The vehicle is missing the BE rear end, the motor and the M22 transmission are also non original. The "shell" is very solid and a lot of NOS parts went with the vehicle when Mario sold it. He would not budge off $39,000Us when he had it. It will be interesting to see what it gets bid up to.

Mark. This car was last owned by Larry Ingrim in Ottawa. He was very particular about this car. I can't believe he sold it as it now looks like it is in NY. I never seen it but it was suppose to be numbers matching and in good shape. He is the one responsible for making up the "Recommended Oil Change" stickers because at the time no-one was making them. I may call him tonight.

Pete, This is 100% the car Mario at Early Bird's had for sale. I have a printout of the GM documentation and I personally inspected this vehicle. I have numerous digital pictures & notes on this vehicle from my inspection. The motor is a 512 block out of a 1968 Corvette. The only M22 peices that where with the car at the time where M22 guts with a rebuild kit. The rear end in the vehicle at the time of my inspection was a "BR" 3.07 Posi. What was funny about the car was a lot of surface rust on the underside of the roof as well as heavy pitting around the windshield & back glass openings. This is usually due to glass leaks, however the dash panel (where the bottom of the windshield) seals was mint! I was unable to get up under the dash to see if it had been replaced. Note - this is also coded for endura, rallyes & radio delete!

Pete, the owners name on the GM documentation says "Early Bird's". Mr Rudow is also aware of the vehicle. Hope this helps.

COPO Pete & Mark,
Seems that you have quite a bit of info on the car between you. I am curious as to where all the numbers matching parts showed up from? The current 512 engine has a Jan 30 1969 casting date and proper pad date and code per the sellers info. The rear BE housing and trans are also correct dated and coded as are the distributor, carb, water pump and even most of the hose clamps. |
