1969 Dana Chevrolet L88 427 Camaro

[Yellow 69 z28]

The badges were replaced during the repaint in the eighties. Did I mention the car only has 67,000 miles on the clock. I have since fixed the bow tie, but because of where the were it was originally installed, it left a nasty mark on the grill. The door panels are original and the badges are in the door, you have to look harder. I notice right away after getting behind the wheel that the lens had been changed at sometime to center clock lens, but the fuel guage face is original. Not sure why the lense was changed.

[/ QUOTE ] My Dad had a very original (or at least it was when we found it) 69 Z/28 with the center mount fuel gauge and it too had a clock stem hole in the lens. I'm still not sure this isn't correct, as I assume the first center fuel gauge cars could have easily utilized the same lens as line workers had been installing over the optional clock for some time. What tipped me off as to questioning the authenticity of your center fuel gauge is the actual "FUEL" font on the face. It's awfully "square" as in to say each letter is nearly as wide as it is high. The first repos of these gauges featured such text, unlike the talller, thinner letters of an original. It's very difficult to tell in pics, and I've been wrong before, just thought it warranted a closer look. Any thoughts? Good luck with the car.

How about a "gratuitous burnout" photo a-la Car Craft?

The car is currently for sale, http://www.cars-on-line.com/44846.html, and advertised as a COPO.
I have been contacted by some people who are looking at it. It highly unlikely to be a COPO. Especially since he states above that it came with a small block originally!

He also posted about it here in 2006: https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/show.../Number/196134
