Joe,
Check the Yenko vin list, that vin most likely is a Yenko vin. Very few non-Yenko Copo cars built before March. The car may exist, let us know when you get it. Good luck.
Mark

My car was built the fourth week of June, but the engineblock was cast the second week of January and the engine was assembled at the end of May.

I had a friend with a 69 daytona yellow in pa, he blew the 427 up and replaced it with a 396. he later traded it in,also in pa.someone bought it from the dealer and I saw the car for a short while, then it left the area. sounds like the one. I have more info on the car, and who owned it and the history behind it if it's the one. I hope it is. dwyellow. I only joined supercar reigistry because we always wondered what happened to this car. the years you are talkng about all seem correct.

the car I am speaking of was traded in at moorehead chevrolet in new hope pa. in the early to mid 70's. two owners before that. sat outback before someone bought it. 396 smoked at the time. 427 was sold I believe to someone down south at the time.car was rolled at one time and repainted, same color only the black rear panel was painted over.
