Was looking through the Barrett Jackson List and saw a '69 COPO Camaro. Rallye Green, Cnadian w/ "CE" block. Anyone know the history of the car?

Does the car have green interior or black. If it's the green interior and last two vin digits are 85, it would be the one Legendary Motors did and had for sale within the last year. There was a link to it from this site.
Let me know if you get some info on it. Will they fax the GM of Canada paperwork if requested?

Been hearing that for some time now but it seems to never happen.I would imagine there would be a lot of cars for sale cheap if it ever does !

Is the GM documentation story for real this time? I've heard this so many times that I gave up hope that it would actually happen. I thought the records were lost or thrown out. Being a database programmer, I would love to see that data in a nice big database. We all know that most people don't mind paying a small fee to make sure the car they are looking at is legit. Keep your fingers crossed.

my fingers are crossed about the gm verification. can you say from what source? i dont want to pry if it's on the qt. didn't i just read in a previous column that someone inside gm was told to go anywhere to find the record and didn't find anything?

Pretty sure it a'int Dons car. This thing has headers, optional MSD box, open air cleaner with K&N. If it was, someone took off the dog dish and stuck on a set of rims!
