Re: 1969 COPO Chevelle forsale?
BKH, that side marker on the lf fender does look like it is back about an inch or so from where it should be. I bet that it has a 68 fender with the side markers welded up and they cut a new hole for the 69 lamp. I have seen that done many times before but not recently. The SS emblems look like they are in a close to correct place.
There used to be a Frost Green COPO Chevelle locally that had all of the SS badging and stripes. The original owner said that he bought the car as a 396/375hp car so that he could insure it. His insurance company said that Chevrolet did not have such a car so when he told the local dealer he would have to pass on it, they said lets add the SS emblems to it because that is all that is missing. So he told his insurance agent that he bought a 396/375 hp Chevelle and they covered it. For years that car was around here and nobody new that it was a COPO. The guy died a few years ago and the car was sold in an estate sale as an SS396. I missed it because I was out of town that day. The one that got away................RatPack.........
