69 COPO White with Blue ** Pics**
 

I finally got my cars home from Vette Fest & was able to take current photos. I spoke with Lamar yesterday to get more background on the car. What a wealth of information. This COPO was given to him by Chevrolet after Lamar raced the ZL1 & it lost a valve, just like one of the Gibb cars. Lamar tells me it was Vince Piggins that wanted him to race the COPO (this car) along with the ZL1, since the cast iron motors did not have the problems like the aluminum block cars. That is how Lamar got this car, delivered through Brooks Chevy. Lamar & Houston Platt are the ones who raced this car, Lamar is the one who restored the car. This car is just great history. Interesting trades considered. Please send me a private message or my regular e mail address [email protected]. Thanks, Pat I have 9 photos & I can e mail them to those interested.

I am trying to figure out how to reduce the size of the photos so I can attach them to my post. I hope to have this figured out soon. If in the mean time someone is interested in seeing the photos I took yesterday, pls. send me a private message or a direct e mail to me, [email protected]. Older photos can be seen of the car on this site under "past feature cars", December of 2000. Thanks, Pat

That yellow Fuelly looks pretty good too. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Beautiful car!! The trim tag rivets are not what I'm used to seeing on any of the factory installed ones that I've owned/seen? Am I ignorant about these or missing something?

Thanks, Rick

This is the way I got the car & from the way I understand, the way Lamar restored the vehicle. I do know that Lamar did a lot of work modifying the engine (for racing) & was under the hood quite a bit. To the best of my knowledge, & from checking with previous owners, everything is the way it should be. I do have the original COPO certificate. I'll try & post that photo & others later. Pat

The one rivet on the tag appears to be replaced, raised with a hole for the rivet pin. Other looks original. Who knows what happens during a restoration. could have got bumped and broke off one rivet.

Lamar is putting the C5R 427 in my 02 ZL1 (#51). The original would make a nice pair and I'm sure Lamar would love to tinker with the car again. I've got a MY 02 Z06 and a blk 02 SS, 1LE auto which (I think) is one of a kind. Maybe we should talk! Call (770-40-9476) or e-mail if you're interested. Each car has about 3,000 miles on them. Ray
