Are the rear end tubes welded to the center section and are the rear spring brackets re-welded to the axle tube? A serious drag car may have had some re-welding done as it didn't take many runs with slicks to brake the factory welds.

Kurt, there is an 03B car with the short spoiler out there that is supposed to be original. Did I send you pics? This car does not sound as rough as it looks in the pictures. I agree with Brian, Burgandy with VE3 bumper up front would look awesome with a silver grill...............RatPack............

and Cragar SS wheels..........

Re: 1969 Camaro copo on ebay
 

Didn't notice the rear having any extra welds, but when I go back, I have a laundry list of things still to check.
I failed to mention before that the drivers rear frame rail had the plate welded to it for the tailpipe hanger. Also had the 3/8ths fuel line. I checked one front rotor, and it was the two piece design, hub bolted to the rotor. Front of frame had tow tabs attached. I will check front of frame to see if it has the hole for front spoiler, center brace screw. I didn't check out the front sheet metal to see if it is original to the car. Not sure if it originally came with a rear antenna. The pass door wouldn't open, as it was hanging up on the pass fender. I was going to see if there was a plug where the antenna lead goes through between the door hinges.
I will check out more on the engine, and the car in general. I'll see if he has the air cleaner asm. I was on limited time checking out the car, as Bill was 45 minutes late showing up.
I will call him tomorrow and see if I can look at it again tomorrow night.
I will post my findings. Warren

If it's a spoiler car, it wont have the rear antenna.

Aren't all Spoilerd COPOs designated as such,
X44 D80 or X11 D80 on the trim tags?

Re: 1969 Camaro copo on ebay
 

Stefano, I would say most D80 cars are not designated on the trim tag. Most I have seen have been later cars.

My spoiler car is not designated on the trim tag.

Ok guy's here we go. I don't usually do this but I did call the owner and this is what he said. "Quote" The car is authentic, it has the original "BE" still in it along with the curve neck, The motor was blown two weeks after the car was purchased new at "Scuncio" Chevy and had a service package put into it. He said that it was the first COPO in the New England area per the dealership. The car was raced allot throughout New England, to include Englishtown. He said the car has a very famous drag racing past. The body is said to be rock solid. The Ebay picture depict a car that needs paint, I asked what happened, and he said that it had race emblem over it and was in need of paint so it was sanded for paint but never finished. The car had the name "DEB" on the side. He claims the name was famous in the area during its day. I'm 43 and I can't recall it. BKH should/could know ??. As for originality he is the fourth owner. The story takes a twist. The original owner is still alive but the new owner "Bill" will not give me his name, he said that he, the original owner, if he was to tell me his name I would know of him if I was into drag racing or followed it at all. Which I do. Anyway the second owner bought it but did not seem to remember when? The third owner was convicted of murder in the '70's and is in jail, that's right, WOW. Then Bill ends up with it hence super low miles. bill said that it has sat nearly it's enitre life. He continued to say that the original owner is pulling together original paper work for the car. Bill insisted that it is original and will double anyoneÃs money back if it's not. Yea! The reserve is set at $30k. In closing he said that the car when new had rally wheels and bright chrome trim. I asked about the sway bar and tach. The car has the 120 Speedo and wasn't sure about the diameter of the sway bar. The interior is nice with full gauge package and was said to be ordered with D80. Well I could ramble but that's what I have. I would have jumped on it today but I have a few project cars I'm finishing up on and was looking for another matching car besides. Bill can be reached at 203-937-0570. Have fun guys. Doesn't appear to be a bad deal if the owner is true in what he is saying. keep us posted if someone out thier in Conneticut goes and sees it. I think he said Waterbury, Conn. Oh I'm lost on the fact that he said the earliest car purchased in New England. The car has an April build date. When did Scuncio appear on the map for SuperCars ??

Peter,
Your Copo is a Canadian car, correct?
If so, does the GM of Canada paperwork Document your spoiler?
