I believe this is one of the 2 Hechler cars...correct?

#58 and #64 are from Indian River Chev. Hechler had #59 & #62.

I believe every Indian River COPO I’ve seen has had an Endura bumper, including my own HO car. There have been several just in this thread.

Special front bumper, sport-styled steering wheel, air spoiler equipment, rally wheels.

Here are some more pictures of ZL-1 #35. This car was purchased new at Sutliff Chevrolet in Harrisburg PA by D. Leesman. The spoilers and Rally wheels were dealer added. Rusty Symmes was the second owner of this car and he restored it in the early '80's. I remember seeing it at the Super Chevy Show in Indy soon after it was restored. Rusty also raced it in the Muscle Car Shootout sponsored by Muscle Car Review around this time as well. It ran 12.70's and was one of the faster cars. This car has a little over 8K miles and does not have it's original engine. Mark Hassett has owned it for a number of years now and had it on display at the Good Guys Show in Columbus in '19.

We got to see this ZL1 at Marks place several years ago, what a beauty!!!!

#178 This is ZL-1 #62 and was purchased new by Johnny Tripp at Colonial Chevrolet in Norfolk VA. It may have been a dealer trade from Hechler Chevrolet in Highland Springs VA. This is the only Garnet Red ZL-1 with a red interior. A number of years ago there was a very nice clone of this car built that supposedly had the original engine from this car in it. I don't know that the engine was ever verified to be the original engine from this car though. This car was a part of Buddy Herin's collection and was sold at Mecum Dallas in '13. Tim Schell had this car at the Good Guys Show in Columbus in '19 where it was nominated as a Muscle Car of the Year Finalist.

Peter Klutt from Legendary Motor Car sold this one time, he did a TV review of the car.

Very cool car!!!

I have always wondered about that clone with the original engine from this car.... buy both and make the clone a total clone.

As I remember the story the guy that had the engine wanted to buy the car, but the guy who owned it wouldn't sell. When the guy who owned the engine couldn't buy the car he built the clone. I saw the clone once at an ISCA show and it appeared to be a very well done car. I believe the clone ended up in Todd Werner's collection. I mention the clone to Tim one time when I talked to him. I believe he had heard about the clone but wasn't sure about the engine being the original one out of #62.

The clone was for sale on-line a few years ago. The pics they posted at the time were not of a production ZL-1 Camaro engine.

I have a file where I save pictures of ZL-1s

here is what I have on 58 and 64

The Aluminum Rat was a cool name for a ZL-1 drag car

Here are some more pictures of N661202 which was sold new at Prout Chevrolet in Elyria OH. This is a 9737 car with an M22 trans. It's my understanding that this car does not have any of it's original drivetrain. This car was once a part of Dennis Albaugh's collection. This car was at Mecum Indy '20 where it sold for $115K before fees.

#179 This is N649158 and it is a Jack Douglas Yenko. It is one of approximately 20 COPO Camaros that were shipped directly to Jack Douglas Chevrolet in Hinsdale IL from the Norwood plant. All the one's I now of are 05D cars with body numbers within a 20 number range. The first time I ever saw or knew of this car is when it was at the Mecum Indy auction in '20 were it was a no sale at $250K.

#180 This 67 Camaro RS/SS is YS-760 and was purchased new at Yenko Chevrolet by John Weaver in March of '68. It is an original 4N car and still has it's original 427/410 transplant block along with it's original TH400 and 3.73 rear. Dough Perry purchased this car several years ago from the original owner with just over 7K miles on it and had it restored by Frank Arone. It made it's debut at MCACN in '19 as part of the Day 2 Display.

This Camaro was stunning.

Good grief, that Camaro is beautiful, whoosh.

Really nice cars folks

That's really gorgeous!! :drool:

#181 This is N650696 and was sold new at Sauder Chevrolet in Lancaster PA. It is 1 of 2 Butternut Yellow 69 COPO Camaros in the registry although I believe there are at least two others that still exist. Bruce E. purchased this car several years ago and had it restored. This car had been a race car and was missing it's original drivetrain when he purchased it. I believe he was able to track down at least the original engine. He had this car at MCACN in '19.

I got to peek at this beautiful RS 427 car that just came to the Pac NW from the east coast and was added to a private collection. Paint is spectacular. Owner said it has Canadian docs.

Bluenose COPO
 

Canadian RS COPO. No spoilers, M22

That blue '69 is unbelievably good looking, wow.

Agreed:headbang:

#182 This is N662823 and was sold new at Wallace Chevrolet in Linden NJ. It may have been dealer transferred from Malcolm Conner Chevrolet in Paramus NJ. This car was found back in '03 as an ex race car and still had it's original BE rear. This car was just recently restored by the Super Car Workshop. T. Kusmiesz had this car on display at MCACN in '19 as part of the Class of '69 Display.

#183 This is N693711 and it was purchased new at Hugh White Chevrolet in Columbus OH by David Waller. This car has just over 8K miles and still has it's original paint and interior. The hood stripe and vinyl top were dealer added. G. Nugent had this car in the Day 2 Display at MCACN in '19.

#184 This is N640518 and it was sold new at Reuben Burge Motors in Nelson BC. This is a 4 speed car. The first time I ever saw it was at MCACN in '19 when Mike Kaiser had it there as part of the Day 2 Display.

Doesn't get much better than that for me.

----Another great Dusk Blue Chevy. Love this COPO!!!......Bill S

Great thread! Thanks for taking the time and sharing!

#185 This is N703336 and it was sold new at Chuck Sypolt in East Canton OH. This car was originally Burnished Brown and it's my understanding that it still has it's original drivetrain. J. Hartung had it at MCACN in '19 as part of the Day 2 Display.

#186 This is N649529 and was sold new at Roger Budd in Valdosta GA to David Griffin. To my knowledge this is the only known Hugger Orange COPO Camaro with a black vinyl top and Ivory interior. This is a former Reggie Jackson car. K. Alford had it at MCACN in '19 in the Day 2 Display.

COPO Camaro..
 

That Hugger Orange R/S is the bomb...M22 puts it over the top.

#187 This is N637392 and was sold new at Sport Chevrolet in Silver Spring MD. This car has a TH400 with a column shifter. It was restored by Legendary Motorcar and there are a bunch of pictures on their website of the restoration. I don't know if any of the drivetrain is original to the car or not. D. Frederick had it at MCACN in '19 as part of the Class of '69 Display.

I can confirm that this COPO is all original drivetrain, metal and most of the interior. It was a hub cap car as well. Original owner was still with us aty the time of MCACN showing.

#188 This is N649679 and it was sold new at Jack Douglas Chevrolet in Hinsdale IL. This is one of twenty or so COPO Camaros that Jack Douglas ordered in May of '69. J. Hartung had this car at MCACN in '19 as part of the Day 2 Display.

#189 This is ZL-1 #12 and it was sold new at Stauffer Chevrolet in Scranton PA to Dr. Fred Tucci. In '76 as an 18 year old Ed Martin saw an add for this car and along with his brother drove from California to New York to purchase this car and trailer it home. This car still has it's original sheetmetal and interior along with it's original transmission and rear. It does have a CE block and was repainted. Ed had this car at MCACN in '19 as part of the Class of '69 Display.

mrays: you have a never ending thread of awesomeness here!!!

Ed: I still don’t know how we missed each other at MCACN!!!
Also can you share the muscle car magazine article about your car? I clearly remember some of the story....

here is a picture of #12 I saved to my ZL-1 file

#190 This COPO Chevelle is B383619 and was sold new at Earl Evans in Painesville OH. Prior to it's restoration in '19 this car was Magenta with a black vinyl top and ribbon graphics. It's my understanding that this car was stolen early in it's life and when it was recovered it's original engine and transmission were gone. Grady Birch had this car at MCACN in '19 as part of the Class of 69 Display.

Here is another picture of B394683. This car was sold new at Brewers Chevrolet in Campton KY to Leon Noble. This car was restored by Roger Gibson and I believe it still has it's original drivetrain. Van Hurst had this car at MCACN in '19 as part of the Muscle Car Review Cover Display for the Class of '69. This is one of my favorite COPO Chevelles.
