'

Not saying you couldn't get it Bill, it was available but Copo 9511 necessary for '69 cars.
A few existing '69 4:56 also 4:88 cars w/ original paperwork are known and sure enough, the 9511 is indeed noted.
We went through it here a few times over the years also more info has come to light on other sites since too so best Google around and you'll see it's true.

Woops, had my COPO orders mixed up....thought 9511 was one of the 427 cars.

I found an old thread on here about it, but the more I read, the more confusing it became, so I gave up...….

Doesn't Joel Rosen offer a verifying service for Motion cars? Not sure how expensive he is but I do remember reading somewhere that he validates legit Motion cars.

Yes, there is a verification service, however, it's clear based on NCRS shipping documents, this car wasn't shipped to Baldwin Chev. or any other new car dealer in NY. Would be a waste of money. Best case, IMO this car had some Motion catalog parts put on it at some point in it's life. Doesn't help the value of the car IMO.

Seems to be a decent '68 L-78 Chevelle, but not worth anything remotely close to asking price.

L78 car for sure. BM not in a million years. Looks identical to mine which has the Buick interior. His price is well let's say way out there in neverland. Even if it had motion stuff bought and put on it means nothing really unless it was a shipped to BM and a full conversion was done.

I also noticed no mention off motion parts. So the parts that made it very desirable don't go with car. My guess is they will pop up on eBay.
