thats a nice find

one small detail I notice is the fender emblems are the chrome with black paint that came out about 1970 and were still available at Yenko into the 1980s

the rear emblem looks correct for 1969

I don't know why they say in this video that the COPO 427 Camaros were not known to the dealers . The factory 427 Camaros were known to anyone who read car magazines. The L72 and ZL-1 Camaros were in magazines in 1969 and were raced in NHRA Super Stock and other classes in 1969.

Jack Douglas could order COPO 427 Camaros, as many Chevy dealers did. The problem with Don Yenko occurred when Jack tried to buy a bunch of replacement Yenko emblems and stripes to put on cars that were not bought from Yenko.
