Default Could this be a '69 COPO Chevelle?

Can anyone tell me if this could possibly be a COPO Chevelle by the VIN and trim tag info?

Most all copo Chevelles were built in Baltimore only one was built in CAL. There are no known copos built in Kansas. That doesnt even look to be a SS I do not see a L on that trim tag

Hi, is that car from the South Hills towards Washington County outside Pittsburgh?

Man, that car and the area look very familiar....

The car is in the Pittsburgh area. It's definitely no COPO though...as it has drum brakes and A/C...just a rusty Malibu.
