1969 427 COPO Barn find

For what it's worth, I disagree with shutting disagreeable threads down. It goes with freedom of speech. Sometimes it isn't convenient or comfortable. Sometimes the truth about things shakes out in the end. If folks don't like reading the back and forth, which I truly can understand, they don't have to keep clicking on the link to read it.
This is an amazing car IMO and I've enjoyed reading about it.

I hope we all get to see allot more of this car at some point.

Question: I thought that 15x7 ralleys were what came standard on COPO Chevelle. Were SS rims an option rather than the ralleys?

Kenny
COPO 9566 used the 14" SS wheel
and COPO 9562 used the 15" Rally that I think was part of 9737 sports car conversion.
on 15" cars both of those COPO codes were on the BS lower left

Thank you. That clears it up.

[Zoomin69]

The SS wheels were standard with this COPO Chevelle.

[Mr70]

Absolutely,which is why one type of document shouldn't be held higher among the rest.

Sometimes it's nice to find a unrestored, unmolested original car with known history that hasn't been passed around endlessly over the past 50 years.

That's very true imo, but a friend always said hed rather have a car w alot of owners because when they own it a short time they usually take care of the car and dont neglect it,and usually they've paid good money for it ..people that own cars for 30 40 50 years always let then sit unattended for most of the time and they are not usually running and are full of mice and mold etc, mostly because the original owner doesnt have alot invested in it ...kind of makes sense

This is absolutely true 99% of the time...
