BE rear found over at camaros.net

Some lucky person was cleaning a rear end that came out of a car scraped out in 1974 or 75 and found a BE rear with all the right pieces, evidently. Some pictures and the story over at

Now for sale. Not mine, and I do not know the seller. Do your own homework, I'm just posting a link to the thread.

I am that "Some Lucky Person". I have decided that installing it in my clone would be sacrilige, as it really needs to go home, above the rear springs of a true COPO camaro.

I was simply purchasing a 69 Camaro, 4.10:1 Posi 12-bolt to install in my car. I had no idea what I had purchased until I got it home and cleaned the code off, in the trailer, before I unloaded it. I took his word, that it was an original 69 Camaro 12-bolt posi. We counted the revolutions to verify the ratio. I never even popped the cover off until after I found the code on the axle.


Actually, the story I as I was told was a local guy used to drag race a 69 RSSS L78 Camaro, and was travelling all over Northwestern West Virginia, and Southeastern Ohio, up into Columbus, Akron, and as far west as Dayton/Cinn. He bought this rearend from a fellow drag racer sometime between 74-77 and stored it in his barn till "He Needed It".

He obviously knew what parts to purchase in the day.

Did you speak to Eric J about it? Think he was trying to write a book & get good pix to put in it
Wasn't there a hold up on the copo cars until the BE rears could be completed. For instance, could an April copo have a May rear end?

That is correct, I bought a March BE rear trying to trade for an earlier rear for my ZL-1, (which is an 02D car). Kurt at CRG contacted me and said to use that rear as it is very possible that an early March rear could have come in my ZL-1. Ended up keeping the rear and selling it with the car.

Eric and I spoke the other nite. He is the one who told me some of the codes I should look for. I am definately close enough to Eric if he would like ot photograph or document this housing, before I sell it.
