Manual brakes, Daytona Yellow drivers fender w. 327 emblem, no hole in trans tunnel for manual shift, 120 speedo, original olympic gold w. vinyl top.

Re: Is this a COPO or is it staged?
 

could be, no pictures or mention of the rear end

front end pieces are a hodge podge, not unusual

manual brakes COULD be from it being an old drag car, most "serious" drag cars from back then were converted to drums ...

Re: Is this a COPO or is it staged?
 

Darn good possibility it could be but I believe the guy is fishing. I had a friend check his info and there is a suspected COPO within 15 body numbers of this one. It is an X11D80 though, but the same build week of 06A. Couldn't have been a 327 car as it was already phased out by the 307. The 307 & 350 2bbl engines used the same 3/8" fuel line as the solid lifter engines so who knows without a close inspection by someone like Jerry to know what it really is.

Picture is a little dark but there is a good shot of the wire harness block on the firewall and I do not see a piercing for the ZL2 Hood harness. Also that BB heater box looks a whole lot more weathered than the firewall

Thats not a big deal....he can drill/punch it out for you : )

The throttle arm also looks to be a NON ZL2 arm. I know they are bolt ons but they are not usually changed out.

How about a picture of the rear frame rail dual exhaust reinforesment?

Re: Is this a COPO or is it staged?
 

They're usually not changed out because it's a pain in the a$$.

Stephano, see you in AZ! First beer is on me, Ed

Ed, you coming out for the auctions?

Re: Is this a COPO or is it staged?
 

Bruce, Dennis and I are bringing a car to Russo and Steele.

Stephano, Wherever you want to go. I got you covered!

Re: Is this a COPO or is it staged?
 

When I compare the forming of the gas line in the pic to a solid lifter BB original there are a lot of differances. Looks to me like it is a custom bent line.

Re: Is this a COPO or is it staged?
 

Bruce, It would be great if you came along. It would give us a chance to finally sit down and talk. See you in about a month, Ed

Re: Is this a COPO or is it staged?
 

I've got credentials for both auctions. Sounds like a plan Ed!

Re: Is this a COPO or is it staged?
 

I wouldn't put too much stock into the single fuel line alone on a 69 Camaro. Only the L48, L34, and L35 had dual lines.

6cyl, 307, lo-po 350, and solid-lifter cars all had the single 3/8&quot;

Can't tell if there is a hole or not but the rust on the heater box does look a little fresher.
