I don't know the answer to that, I have to ask more questions. I want to give the guys I have been talking to break for the holiday. I do know it was campaigned in So. Cal for a while with NHRA. I sent you an email if you could keep me posted.

New Pics just arrived. The first was taken in 1969 in texas and is showing the Mac's logo. While the second was taken in 1970 with the Shaker logo.

I am still trying to locate and contact the original painter who was Dell Star, from I believe Star Auto Body, Mason City, Iowa.

If any one has any info please PM me.

Thanks

That's a really neat car.... I think this is really what they were meant to be. I notice there's a bowtie in a black grille and an X66 car. Possibly a copo car? I know some Yenkos were X66. Were their grilles black like the SS or silver like the copo's?

Cool car. The old pictures show the cowl hood, no SS396 emblems, has a BE rear dated perfectly for it, sure looks like it could have COPO potential. But it looks a little late for one of the early Yenko X66 COPO's which were 01A and 01B. Is this car possibly a Canadian car?

[Yellow 69 z28]

I have not check with GM Canada yet. I am waiting to hear back from the original owner and driver Charlie Jacobs. Now I did speak with the Sponser and owner of the dealership Mac's Chevrolet and he says this car was a COPO. But that is not confirmed. He also told me that he may still have the original paper work on this vehicle in storage. I'm hoping. In looking around the car recently I notice that the ZL-2 selonoid is still on the hood, but no wiring left or flapper, the spoilers were added and no build sheet to be found.

I was wondering would of the fenders be pierced for ss 396 badging? I will look at that next.

Check the fuse block under the dash for the wiring that goes to the hood that connects to the fuse block. I think there is a known X66 Canadian COPO but I don't know for sure all the details. Maybe someone else that knows will chime in. I still think it's a great example of period race car that was bought strictly for that purpose.

Jeff,
There are no "officially" confirmed or verified X66 COPOs other than Yenkos, but now is a good time to correct me if my statements are incorrect. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]
