Re: 1969 Chevelle
The car had kept the original motor in it for some time. I remember the first time he opened the hood , that chrome air cleaner and valve covers aluminum intake, he added headers. it spoke to me , you know what I mean.
To this day that car has left a lasting impression on me. in the late 80's the car was running a 454 with an automatic . at the time he was keeping all that he removed from the car. the car had wood wheel, bucket seats, SS hood, rear mount antenna. I don,t remember much more , I wish back then in my early teens vin numbers and other items were a concern.all I new then was it went like hell and I wanted it.   thanks again

Re: 1969 Chevelle
These are the last two I have , this first one the photo is messed up a little and the second is the 454 in place of the 427. a camera was something I wish I had more often then, it was a 20 minute bike ride to Pete's house for me.but I'd do it all again.

Re: 1969 Chevelle
Love those vintage photos!!!
Why oh why couldn't someone just happen to post some vintage photos of my car like that...  Did anyone happen to hang out with a guy that had a white COPO Chevelle with red guts and a black vinyl top???

Re: 1969 Chevelle
Back in the '80s, very few even knew what a COPO Chevelle was. At the Barrie Flea market, I had people give me the "Yeah right" look when talking about having a COPO Chevelle. I doubt that people were building COPO clones in that era. Sounds like a very interesting car to me.

Re: 1969 Chevelle
This car was a factory Copo 427/425hp car bought new from Belmont Chev/Olds by a buddy of mine. He would come to HARVEYS at Jane and the 401 during the week and park in the third slot on the north side. This car was unique as it had no SS markings or stripes. The cragars were put on when new and Hooker Headers. This car was never raced or abused and The word "COPO" was never used. This car was very fast and a true "SLEEPER" for its time. Vince the original owner worked for a meat packing company. Car was sold around '75-'77 to a kid named Joe that lived near the Famous HARVEYS.
