Re: 69 COPO White with Blue ** Pics**
Just a curiosity, I see the battery ground is to the alternator bracket. I know small block is done that way, but I thought b/b was grounded to the block. The assembly manual supports that. Are both correct?

Re: 69 COPO White with Blue ** Pics**
For now, the car is off the market. Many thanks for those who inquired. Hard to replace a nice car with this kind of history.

Re: 69 COPO White with Blue ** Pics**
I just spoke with Lamar again, he tells me he put new 1/4's on this car after he finished racing the car. The originals were cut to allow for the larger tire setup,(racing). Also, the trim tag was more than likely re attached to this, the ORIGINAL body. Again, as Lamar told me, the rivets were knocked off or taken off to allow for racing modifications/equipment in the engine compartment back in '69. He also offered to answer any questions about the history on this car, during the time he raced/owned & restored the car. I'm providing this info. to help the intergity/history of this car & stop some bad rumors that may be floating out there.

Re: 69 COPO White with Blue ** Pics**
***FURTHER UPDATE***
due to the number of requests & interest & to satisify myself & put an end to the questions... I had the cowl panel pulled from my car and guess what... there they were in all their glory, the last 8 of the VIN...9N623763.. unaltered, clear & beautiful. Also checked by the heater box.. there they were again, same numbers! Also got some nice authentication from Lamar on the car. It just gets better!! I wanted to let everyone know. Pat

Re: 69 COPO White with Blue ** Pics**
What's up with all the editing? I thought the car was $78,000. Is this the same one advertised at $115,000 elsewhere?? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: 69 COPO White with Blue ** Pics**
Could be a little of both, either way, the car is NOT what the rumors were proporting it to be. It is a FABULOUS car with lots of history & additional documentation & photos. Truly a one of a kind! I wanted to put an end to anything untrue that was being said. No one likes their kids to be picked on.
