I'm no expert on stampings but that sure looks like a BL rear that was restamped to BE. The date does not really fit into any kind of COPO car range either.

Not really sure could be I just pulled it out of my car, has two e's what is the second never seen it before lower and sideways the top of the E next to B is faint on top over the roll of the tube, so is the 0's and the 2, the lower sideways E is more along the tube and crisp, and my car is no copo, the date on casting is I-18-8, what ever it is it's going back where it came from when I change the gears out and clean it up

The lower E means it had an Eaton posi unit in it. Note that that E looks similar to the E in BE. Hard to tell from the angle, but I'd check it out anyway. Casting date seems early for COPO, though.

were some of the early yenko vins in january of 69?

Alan,
I thought the 1st Yenko order was placed in Nov 1968 and the first cars were 01C or 01D bodies.

Does anyone know what rear dates were in the 1st two ZL1s?

I ran a pencil over the E for eaton today and the E in the BE they are identicle type set, but the E is deeper stamp on the eaton, most of the numbers on the tube seem to fade at top, Im guessing the roll of the tube?? I did pull it apart today to clean next week and set the gears up in it. I have not found anything on the internet that "BE" was to specific to "COPO" but just 4:10 gear ratio and possibly a service part??? I do not know I'm no expert on this. The car does have a multitude of what seems to be "counter parts" I just figured this was the same as well...
