My Old COPO Chevelle?

[Mr70]

Andy
Welcome to this B/B.
I owned Jeffs COPO in mid 90's and sold it to the man Jeff bought it from.
I have the copies of its paperwork.
There was a Twin COPO orange sister Chevelle sent to Central Olds Chevy with it.
Do you by chance have the VIN# of the COPO you owned?
You say the original 427 engine was blown up?
Was it destroyed,or put in a corner somewhere?
Any more details you can share,old Polaroids?

I'll try to answer all your questions. I do live in Canada. When I owned the car I lived in Georgetown, Ontario. The original owner and the person who owned it after me lived in Brampton. Both towns are near Toronto. I'm currently living in Alberta. Moved here in 1974.
I have no idea how many were sold by Central. This is the first site I found with that info so I was refering to the 3 that were mentioned here, I only remember seeing one other COPO Chevelle in the early 70's. That was a blue one that occasionally raced at Cayuga.
I do remember mine had a July 1969 build date, it was in the info with the owners manual and it had the Central Chev Olds chrome plastic nameplate on the trunk lid. I mentioned mine didn't have the black strip on the side. Also it didn't have the decal on the air cleaner.
I thought I had the VIN for it but have been unable to find it. Also looking for some pictures.
As for the motor. The pickup fell out of the oil pump and ruined the block. I ended up selling the motor to raise cash to buy the 396.
