Re: 11D COPO Chevelle???
The earliest COPO and Yenko Chevelles that I know of are early February. A late March engine wouldn't be original to the car but a lot of these engines broke and were replaced over the years. If it is real, fine. If not it could make one nice clone. If it is a real SS car, it would be worth doing a restoration. The KQ rearend would be another good clue. 4:10 rearends in SS396 cars were coded KK.

Re: 11D COPO Chevelle???
It's always a laugh reading ebay feedbacks of people with minus (-) numbers.

Re: 11D COPO Chevelle???
Just a quick heads-up on this car...
After several failed attempts on Ebay, the owner is now shopping this car around as a "matching numbers" COPO Chevelle, complete with original KQ rear, and possibly a new trim tag...according to those looking at the car last year, it was a 396 car with a KK rear with a '70 454 in it and an 11D build date. There's a LOT more to this story than I care to get into, but if you're bored, here's some more info: Team Chevelle thread 1 - Team Chevelle Thread 2

Re: 11D COPO Chevelle???
Changing the trim tag to a more "attractive" date will do nothing for the VIN range of the car since there is a range on dates there as well...BKH

Re: 11D COPO Chevelle???
Our 396 Chevelle at B345383 is about 19,000 after this car but was shipped February 7. Sounds like someone stamped the block without understanding the relationship of production numbers to dates. Buyer beware.

Re: 11D COPO Chevelle???
This car is listed on Ebay again. This time he says: "So this car is an original COPO 427 Chevelle, and in fact it's one of the earliest ones made."
