<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Furback</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I checked into this Chevelle. It is Dusk Blue or Fathom Blue. I am surprised that someone here does not know about it. The only COPO 69 Chevelle sold in eastern Canada. A friend of mine ran the VIN at GM Canada and it is verified COPO 69 Chevelle. It has the original engine and M22. Sold new in PEI.

What car are you referring to here? Legere's? I was just told by an Islander that the COPO Chevelle associated with that province was wadded up in the 70s, but the tags &quot;lived on&quot;....

Legere has the car with the documentation. And also the matching numbers engine and M22. The car is in REAL nice condition. Apparently there is a guy in Ontario that offered a friggin camp on a lake for it or whatever Legere wanted for the car. Like, name your price. An Ontario company purchased what was left of a 1970 Camaro SS L78 from here and all they took was the engine, trans, rearend and tags, the rest went to the scrapyard. The car was so bad I doubt the leftovers weighed 300lbs. LOL.

To me, Eastern Canada is all provinces you mentioned 427King except Ontario. To some people it does not include Quebec. I was told that GM Vintage vehicles services stated that this COPO Chevelle was the only one sold in Eastern Canada. I would not know any different. I just happen to have seen the car and met the guy and one of my longterm friends is the one who ran the vin at vintage vehicle services and it came back COPO. There were a lot of re bodies done over the last 40 years I suppose. And a lot of fakes created as well. Harder to do with a COPO though, as I think better track was made of the lower numbers of them. I am a Nova guy. Would love to have a nice 69 Chevelle though, my favorite year of Chevelle. If I had saved all the NOS 69 Chevelle stuff I had over the years I could build a nice car. LOL.

The blue Copo Chevelle sold in Nova Scotia would be B412667, Lemans Blue M22. It is the latest Canadian shipped Copo Chevelle I have on the list.

WE street-raced a Blue '69 COPO Camaro with a friends '73 454 Vette. Weston Finch timelines in early to mid 90's, I wonder if it was the same. We raced twice that night, beat the COPO and another Chevelle I recall, THEN the hitters came calling. Next was either Serge's Challenger or the &quot;Joe Cool&quot; '69 Camaro from Comp Auto. Needless to say, we declined both offers. LOL

It appears that Dougs ( 427strato) COPO that he owned when new has been listed on EBay today in British Columbia ! ebay ad

I believe Dougs car was written off some time ago?

&quot;Unfortunately &quot;&quot;&quot;&quot; I traced my COPO at the same time as the Stratochief and found the last owner. He advised he had totalled it two years before and gave me the name of the wrecking yard it went to. I went to the yard and the owner advised me he had purchased it six months earlier and crushed everything they had. This was the car I first tried to find and the second, being the Stratochief, took me about seven years to repurchase.&quot;

That was from Doug to another member of a different site back in 2008.

Also, IF this does turn out to be Dougs old COPO, funny that Doug stated above that he recalls the 427 being pulled and put in a '69 Nova from our town! And he was wondering if that car still had it??????
