last one. If you have a copy of 10/67 SS&DI. There are what looks like some decent detailed pics of the car. Here is a crappy pic from Ebay.

Thats all I got.. Look at the pics.. Draw your own conclusions. Happy Fu#&ing New Year!!

Tom and others,


That sure does look a lot like your car..and imagine that..no need to come up with other cars or 1 car has different doors or tail lights or a different spoiler.....BUT..wait a min..it can't be YOUR car..because you bought your car from some guy and HE SAID you had a DH car..man what was I thinking....man glad I don't have to go in the garage and always wonder if my homework was right...Hopefully for you Huston Platt or someone else doesn't get looking at YOUR DH car and say "ghee" ...

Might you want to at LEAST, POSSIBLY look at re-researching what you have????

As far as my comments go...well here is a real world situation of a car I actually own and have spoken to others here about...

I have a 1969 X11, 02 built Hugger Orange Camaro. It has a BE rear in it and all the attributes of a COPO. There is no engine or trans however. I have been researching the car and its' history to try and determine if it is a COPO. I haven't spoken to Ed C about the car, instead wanting to further research the car..

However based on what you guys as a collective group (and since all the post from about pg 4 or so have people with stars on them) you as a group are voicing your collective opinion. I now feel comfortable saying the car IS a COPO. After all I did alittle research, the car looks like one, the guy I bought it from about 10 years ago thought it was one, and most importantly YOU as a group say it is...since no hard research, no hard documentation, no matter if there is a chance I'm wrong or that possible evidence to the contrary shows up...So in the space of 2 hours I can now bring a new, previously unfound, highly collectible COPO Camaro to the table. Well I'm giving some thought to selling and since "The Premier Supercar Website" just validated it for me the value just went up...

Thanks guys..you made my night...even as I'm being the butt of a lot of your childish jokes and post..

All I'm going to say in regards to some of the personal attacks, mocking post and jabs..I guess you guys have all the answers... Since I didn't specifically call anyone out by name but instead was called out by a few..especially someone in Steve Shauger (paceme) that I respected..notice the past tense i will take a sec to make a few comments..stay in the Camaro world..the last time I checked your knowledge of Chevelles and specifically LS6's it was fractional at best..You neither truly know me or are a "drinking buddy".. I expected better from you however, especially given the fact we have corresponded for 10 years or so..guess my judgement of you and your character was wrong as you se fit to make your post personal..I expected that sort of stuff from the likes of Rick Peters..after all everyone knows he is a female dog, but you I thought highly of..

I'm done..you guys figure out what Tom has

Tom has Harrells car...I'm an expert now...I looked at the pics.End of story...hey why not ...its as good as anything else...this guy who is an expert had the car in his show booth...and saw it 2 years after...and never had any issues but now miraculously he looked at some pictures or something and he says it's not the car after all these years ? None of it smells right...now they are trotting their proclamation out to all kinds of websites praying someone will believe them but in time they will all see right thru it all...no matter what the car is ...Harrells name has suffered . Hopefully Val sees that

So now its definitely the Huston Platt car? Gee and today in less than one hour on google I found no less than half dozen other period 68 Camaro funny cars with the same passenger door defect, same spoiler and at least one definitely has the same tail lights. P-L-E-A-S-E.

Here's one for you raced by John Dekker. (Several pictures halfway down the page.)

So why couldn't it be any of these if its not the DH car?

Jeff, WOW! Everyone really needs to check out that link. And I would love to see some of the other pictures you uncovered. Talk about shedding new light on the whole passenger door defect, same spoiler and definitely the same tail light theory posted elsewhere.

BTW, does anyone know, and/or can anyone tell what company produced the body for the Western Sound FC?
