Re: 1969 COPO 9561 just found out of Denver Co.
Thanks Jude, I know Iam thinking the same thing on the LeMans Blue but I really want to get my own picture of the car like it was racing back in the day, but I'am really happy with it being a real Blue car. I will add a attachment on this post above of the door panel off the LeMans Blue is real nice under there. Iam pulling the motor and trany tomarrow so I can detail the engine bay, this car is really cool, no really it has 5 coolers a rad, trany, oil, fuel, & last a p/steeering cooler? So I will have lots to do! just to get it back to basics. Thanks Mike

Mike, paint it black and leave it in race day trim till you get sick of it. (maybe 50 years down the road) then restore it. Look how Caleb Arones race car COPO looks in Day-2 trim!
 Bad A$$ and the way it is suppose to be IMO! A great find!  Have some fun.

Re: 1969 COPO 9561 just found out of Denver Co.
The prior owner of the car knew it was a COPO.
He said something about it being bought for the dealer's son as a b-day present. The prior owner #2 took the BE rear when he sold him the car. Course he didn't have any papers on the car......

Re: 1969 COPO 9561 just found out of Denver Co.
Kurt, the 2nd owners name is Dan P. who bought the car in 1979 from the original owner. On the bill of sale I have he sold it to the 3rd owner Chris C. in 11/16/91 for $1500. Chris knew it was a COPO but over the 17 years he had it he had no paperwork or the race photos w/ the car, Chris sold it to the shop owner this May 2008 who then did the work w/ getting the car w/ it's paperwork. Do you think Dan the 2nd owner has the BE rear for the car? I've talk w/ the origanal owner and Chris the 3rd owner , but have not made contact w/ Dan the 2nd owner. Thanks Mike

The info actually came from Shawn C, his brother. I'd suggest asking Chris again, but that's what Shawn had said about the axle.

Nice large area of original paint to use as a match later for the resto.
