Re: possible copo
Kurt,
It was just a shot in the dark to see if you had an 05E Copo with a vin after this one with a May rear. Thanks |
Re: possible copo
Hey William, You got a walnut wheel through November of 1968. In December, you received a rosewood wheel. Sam 1969 RS-Z/28

Re: possible copo
For what it's worth my COPO (current feature car) is an 06A trim tag date (351185 BDY) and a BE0616G1 rear end in it. As far as I know, it hasn't been swapped.

Re: possible copo
sc69sam after 27 years of 1st gens trust that I know the difference. A May built '69 would have a Rosewood wheel. The wheel in the photo is a '67-'68 Walnut wheel, not the same as a '69 Walnut wheel.

Re: possible copo
CJP 69, I don't know if this will help you, as Kurt stated it probably isn't relevant to your car. My rear is: BE 0305 G1 and it is the original rear so it is a few days later than my 2D build date. Looking at your pics tells me anything is possible!!!

Re: possible copo
William, I have a dark Walnut wheel on my 1969 Z/28. It was built 11D,(1968) Is this wheel acceptable? Thanks, Sam
|
Re: possible copo
Many years ago I has a rough 12A '69 parts car with a Rosewood. A shop across town had a rough 11C '69 SS with a Walnut. That told me the change was made between those dates. Your 11D car certainly could have been built with a Walnut.

Re: possible copo
Thanks William. I will keep the wheel intact. Goes to prove, (I saw it there) info. is always the best. Everything is not always written in stone! Sam

Re: possible copo *DELETED*
In reference to Joe C.'s comment about writing in the front fenders, I have a picture of my front fender extension that has some writing on it, but been unable to post pic on site? Anyone interested in seeing it, e-mail me and I will send it.

Re: possible copo
I know this is an old post but I have a few things that I would like to state about this car. I was called by Chris and asked if Scuncio sold a burnished brown C.O.P.O Camaro,I told him I would like to see the car. After looking the car over all the sign's point to a 427 car. The car has a factory cowl induction set up and you can tell it has been on the car for years,the hood is even burnished brown under the blue paint. The car also has a single 3/8 fuel line that has been on the car forever aswell. I know every one has stated that the rear end date is off,but it may have been a swap out of another car. This is a small state we live in and a lot of these 427 cars came out of Scuncio,so its not that hard to beleive that it my have come out of another car. The owner ship of this car has been traced back to 1977 and at that time it had a small block with a saginaw trans and from looking at the car that was not original. I will not say,yes or no to it being a 427 car at this time. The car was sold new from Scuncio,the NICB proves that and the Scuncio "Hi Performance" emblem fits in the holes in the tail lamp panel. The car has not been touched at all from the time Chris brought the car home,and he would like to know the history of the car before the resto starts on the car. I will have some pictures to post later of the car for others to see. I have some other info on this car but at this time I will keep it to myself. There will also be an new post about the car on another site,there is a good freind of mine that can not post on this site so maybe Team camaro would be a great place to start a new one about this car.

Re: possible copo
Chuck,I know what to look for on a factory cowl hood car. From looking at this car it was that way from the factory.

Re: possible copo
i have it 418 units from another car 05d x11, i would take off the ss emblem and try to lightly strip off the paint underneath to see if there was a bowtie there at one time, do a careful tear down and be checking for any crayon marks on the body panels or trans crossmember etc. i have heard that easy off oven cleaner https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif works pretty good for this.
|
Re: possible copo
The car did have bowtie emblems on it a past owner I talked to put the SS emblems on the car,he also added the 327 fender emblems.
|
Re: possible copo
Is the car an RS as well? I do see the tail lights are for an rs ,but may have been changed as well??
|
Re: possible copo
Doesn't have the RS back up lights.... |
Re: possible copo
Also check for assy marks on the front fender extensions.
It would be nice to find something like this. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...ke/copo060.jpg Mike |
Re: possible copo
This car was built 502 cars behind mine, and mine is an 05D car, with a BE 0519G2 rear. The body number is about 3100 higher than mine. Car must have been built on a Monday.

Re: possible copo
"The car's tag info is 302149BDY 05E 711 61 E X11D80. Vin 124379N649841"
My Silver X11 Copo is VIN 648998 with body 301731 05D and the original 5 15 dated BE I have another Copo in the Data Base which is also O5E and has a May Dated BE per the original POP. Sounds very Much Like another Potential Scuncio Copo. Who is going to restore it? |

Re: possible copo
I want to thank Ed James and Bob Johnson for their efforts. After finding out through NICB that the selling dealer code was 32613, I reached out to both of them. Although Bob did not remember this particular car, Ed suggested I check the rear tail light panel for emblem holes. The panel had a red Edelbrock sticker covering the three holes. Ed brought an old Scuncio Hi Performance emblem by and it fit. It was very cool to see it back on the car after 30+ years. I feel it's a significant piece of the puzzle. The car will stay mothballed until hopefully, more history can be uncovered on it. Thanks for the responses. Chris

Re: possible copo
I have never seen one with two studs unless one is broken off,they all had three. I should know I had them made,scrape of the puddy on yours and you will see where there was three studs. Here is one of Chris's other 69 Camaros from Scuncio(he has seven of them),it also has three holes in the back.

Re: possible copo
That is my race car. More like a street strip car. I purchased that car in July of 1990. It's an 04C X22 SS/RS 71B 712 interior BDY 308602 invoiced to 32613 on 04/25/69. I think the data on this car helps support the brown car. The car was a gutted race car when I bought it but it wasn't tubbed. It had a dana 60 on housing floaters with ladder bars and an aluminum head 454 with a glide. The rear quarter lips were rolled to fit a 30 inch tall slick. In 1991 I had two new gm quarters put on it and the car was put in primer. (Still have the receipt for the quarters-$500.00 for the pair) The tail light panel had charging lugs drilled in it because the car didn't have an alternator. When my body guy did the car, he repaired the lug holes but left these three other holes in the panel because he thought they were for a camaro emblem. After I found out about the brown car, I measured these holes and sure enough they matched the other car. That was then confirmed by the NICB. The car is still in primer. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: possible copo
Research is your first step at this point. you could not have entered a better Forum for gaining Knowledge, Friendship and a couple good arguments from time to time!! best of Luck to you!

Re: possible copo
Thanks Dave I do agree. The collective knowledge of this site is phenomenal. Hopefully some more history will come to light. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
Stefano, I can't say when it's going to be restored but after seeing the handy work of the boys from SCW at Carlisle over the past few years, when the time is right I'd love to give them a shout. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif |
Bump for a few guys looking for the thread.
