Need help - 69 COPO Camaro?

[April L]

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.

No problem. It was too far away for me to inspect personally and I think he got tired of me asking him to check for this & that. He also agreed to deliver it, but since it was in pieces I'm sure it was easier for him to sell it local.
I saw the radiator, firewall punch & RS traits, but with the X-11 trim, figured it could be an SS and with flared 1/4's it was a toss up....great if copo, but too much work/$$ to resto if an SS/RS.
Hope it turns out in your favor [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

We know it was a big block car by the parts that are still on it. How would you differentiate an RS copo from an RS/SS big block? Are you saying there wouldn't be an RS copo?

[NovaMob03]

RS can be COPO, but not SS. The sgl 3/8 fuel line was missing &amp; so was the heater box from what he told me. The X-11 can be COPO and SS. Front disc brakes can be SS &amp; COPO, so (for me)it came down to having a CX tag &amp; BE stamping
I only got 4 cell phone pictures that were not very good quality. Clearly a home run if it's an RS COPO as there are less than 10 known, I think. Even more rare might be the Frost Green with Green interior COPO...1 of 1 built [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]
