1969 COPO Nova?

----Not only the bypass hose paint but way, way too much orange on the intake......Bill S

You guys are top notch. I love the fine detail being brought out. I also said WTF when I saw the bypass hose and the over spray on the intake. Now the engine hook. And yes the alignments of panels is just awful.
Can’t say I’m a fan of the color tho. Not something I would choose

That was my jab on the paint when posting the photo. Lots wrong with this car.

Yes...all the 69 4 spd cars had smog.

Exterior; headlite bezels are incorrect, there should be black paint between the rocker moldings, also missing the pinstripe that goes with that trim package, no trim rings on SS wheels, looks like chrome edge is absent from fender louvers...not sure why they left all the pieces of labels on the tires ???

Interior; door panels are re-pop [no Nova emblem], Muncie shifter should have a black knob, not sure what's up with the spare...looks like a used radial on steel wheel not in the right position.

Engine bay; The radiator support rubber flap has 70 style buttons...should be the T-clip version, negative cable mounts to the engine, hood hinges are incorrectly painted black, dip stick should not be painted, lots of little hardware issues.

underside; the completely painted bottom is not correct, orange oil filter???, and the list goes on.

Could be a nice car with some major cleanup of the problems seen and others we haven't noticed yet.

I still would like to see the Fisher sheet that says this is a COPO. I'm a doubter...

I don't expect this subject car is anything special but as discussed in past threads, a Copo Nova could exist, not a 427 car but a Copo # 9511 w/ 4:56 or 4:88 factory rear which was required for '69 Chevrolets w/ rear axles over 4:11.
A few 9511 Camaros are known also I think Chevelle or two but the '69 Novas more elusive and one an sYc Member reported having back in one of the old threads seemed the closest X-car possibility up to then.
I'm a work so can't dig for the old threads but was it you Tom w/ the example you let go of that seemed possible also was it a factory 4:56/4:88 car or?
Again, I don't expect the subject car is anything special but would still love to see a real '69 Copo 9511 X-Body if anyone knows of any.

Sully had a 69 L78 Nova with the stiff gears...maybe he will chime in.

Can't help with the car but I know the rears exist. I have a BX code 12 bolt with a 69 date, complete with GM posi and GM 4.88's in it. Pulled it out of a friends wrecked 69Z but I don't know if it was actually original to his car or not.

Heater hoses should be ribbed with no stamp. UPC bar codes did not exist in 69, alternator must have come from pep boys.

The corvette boys like to see some overspray from the mask, but they went overboard. Temp sensor in head looks like the wrong fitting.

Not a fan of the color and that will bring the price down. What’s up with the positive lead going over the battery to get to the junction block on the core support
