Re: Need help - 69 COPO Camaro?
To id where inline it falls, partial vin N664 :-)
From camaros.org - "In 69, the body number was assigned when the order was accepted, not when the body when built. Body numbers from cars that were built at the same time can vary significantly, depending on how quickly the order was fulfilled."
Sorry, NovaMob03 about the verbal. We obviously didn't know about that. We are actually friends with the guy we bought it from and were just under the impression he needed the money. We didn't know it was raced in PA, so that is new info for us. Maybe something else for us to research.
We know it is an RS, maybe an RS/SS. The orignal motor is gone but we believe it was a 427 motor. It's still in the area, but we haven't been able to locate it.
Not sure the tranny is original. Numbers are hard to read. It is still set up for racing and it still has the added straps to secure it to the car. We will probably have to pull it out to be able to clearly see it. We don't intend to take the motor out of the car for that.
We have looked for the BE on the axle tube but it's been painted and we haven't had the opportunity to sand it down yet, plus we are not sure exactly where we should be looking for that number. Would like to find that out of course.
It has the correct brake pedal. It has the correct original front disc brakes. It has the original correct 90 degree neck on the radiator. It has the casting number 5468309 master cylinder which was only on the copo and ss big block cars.
It has the correct cowl holes? on the firewall. There are no holes for emblems on the fenders. The car has obviously been modified for racing but the body is still very honest, nice original condition. There is almost no corrosion. It seems to be a real survivor car.
