Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?
 

If the COPO is so much faster than the L89 a &quot;few hidden mods&quot; should fair it up for a great race. (That is a kick a## race no matter who wins)

Come on, make it happen.........

Albert will you be attending SCR16?

Dan

Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?
 

L89 is a weight difference of 78 pounds. (about the weight of one iron head)
The 427 will be quicker.

Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?
 

I didn't Buy his Motor - I built my own for Pure stocks. Spent 5 hours certifying it with Bob Boden ( Guy that puts on the Pure Stock Drags ) Went over every inch of it. Saw that F.A.S.T. class was dying and couldn't do it to that Beautiful car. So instead of Low 10's it will be High 11's.. Still not to shabby<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Postsedan</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Tim,

If your thinking of bringing The Glacier Blue L89 Post Sedan, there is NOTHING STOCK on that motor.....we need a completely bone stock L89 Chevelle. Nice try Tim [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

But Tim please do bring the Glacier Blue Post to SCR16, love to see her again....I`ll even say for the record you`ll be the fastest Abody Car at SCR16 on a bias ply tire.

I`m hoping you can make it. I`ll get Greg to attend aswell.

Dan

Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?
 

Yup, I'll be there. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Especially since it's dedicated to Pete.

I think you will like the way the car finished up.

Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?
 

Dan, I'll say I'll try....I will be in Ohio the weekend before...with the other the car...thats alot of miles [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?
 

Yeah, that is way too much driving..... Bummer. Perhaps you can get Tom and Ryan to do the driving and you ride shot-gun the entire trip [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Dan

Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?
 

Are you talking about the weekend before at Strongesville Ohio Aug 2-3?

I am working on final approvals with Beautiful (coma) Chevelle loving wife for both shows.

I am a spectator so it's much easier for me, (less gas,etc)

Ryan

Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?
 

Ryan,

SCR16 will be held the weekend of August 10th, 2013 at Gateway Motorsports Park, which is located near Madison/Collinsville, IL, just East of St. Louis.

Dan

Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?
 

Agreed,

Albert mentioned Ohio the week before. (I was asking if he going to the NOCC show?)

yes Ryan I am..NOCC is one of the best shows going..if you don't have fun there..your dead!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Postsedan</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Ryan,

Trust me, You&quot;ll never catch a COPO Chevelle with an L89 Chevelle. Two different animals.

I am a huge fan of both. But, if someone said you had to pick one..... I would choose a COPO Chevelle all day.

Dan </div></div>


.......or an L72 Camaro either

Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?
 

Strongsville Ohio NOCC is just 5 hours away, (officially on the calendar)

St Louis is 11, so I am opting out of SCR16. (&quot;feel shame&quot; Slap Shot reference) You all have a great time.

Make it a great tribute to COPO Pete.

Ryan

Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?
 

Ryan,

Here is a glimpse of the fun at the NOCC. I too hope to make it, but it`s not looking good.

Hi Dan,

Keep it on the maybe list.

Hi Bud,

That car sounds ridiculous (in a good way)

Ryan

Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?
 

Maybe the 1969 Chevelle SS 396 L78/L89 vs 1969 Chevelle COPO L72 will play out at PSMCR this year?

I'll donate a gallon of good gas for each car.

Ryan

Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?
 

Ryan..mine's run a best [email protected] ply tires, full exhaust, point ignition,no tach..the only way to know if I over revved it is the alt belt turns around!..too much fun! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img]..I love driving this car.

Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?
 

Your COPO right?

Have you ever come to PSMCDR? (HOW ABOUT SEPTEMBER 2013?)

Ryan

Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?
 

Last year: 1969 Chevelle SS 396/375 4spd is in the top 25 fastest, Justin Maher 13.043 @108.40 mph

This car flies.

Driving your cars is the only way to go, I love trailer queens to look at but bias ply won't burn themselves.

And my L89 is soooo close to being ready... maybe I'll have to take a rain check?

Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?
 

Mine might be a little closer. And it will be at Pure stocks

Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?
 

Hi Helmut, and Tim,

Can you guys send more info,

Helmut I thought you had a black L89?, do you have a pair? (pair of L89's not &quot;a pair&quot;)

Tim, is this a new addition?, it's not in your &quot;signature&quot; yet.

Ryan

Great news,

PS: I really don't care who races who I am just a 1969 Chevelle freak and want to see as many as possible race at PSMCDR, and meet the owners so I can get as much support as possible buying my next 69 (2014-2015) and racing at PSMCDR (2015-2016)

Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?
 

I bought the car 1 1/2 years ago from Greg Cullum as a Roller. He was building it to be a FAST class car. I saw it and couldn't do it to this Beautiful creature. So I have spent the last 1 1/2 years bringing it back to the Less evil side of the force. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] Now as a pure stocker she's ready to roll.

This thread definatly morphed into something else. I'm thinkin we need to start a new thread &quot;My kid can beat up your Honor role student&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?
 

Sorry to morph the thread. (My status has somehow changed from newbie to member, I hope my inability to stay on topic won't affect that..)

Great stuff here.

In the picture it looks Lemans blue, (also I missed the shinny trimmed post (Dan will not let me live that down) but this must be the dusk blue post....

Kick a## car.

Ryan

PS: What car do you normaly race at PSMCDR?

Pure Stock Is the Way to Rock ™

Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?
 

No Ryan,

It's Glacier Blue, was originally a Frost Green 300 Deluxe.

Ryan, I am very fortunate to have a pair of 1969 L89 Chevelles. The Fathom Green car has a green bench / stick interior. Here is what's left of the build sheet that was once above the tank...
