Canadian 1969 Chevelle 300 Deluxe SS, L78, M22

[427strato]

My 69 copo was in British Columbia 6 months ago. It was fully restored, (absolutely beautiful job), the owner has all of the original paper work to go with the car including the original bill of sale from B&A Chevrolet, the Broadcast copy, the Shipping Copy and envelope to go with it, a couple of original insurance slips, a few original pictures from 1969 and the original B&A dealership emblem that was on the car when I purchased it. I would love to own it however it is well out of my reach.

The Morris-Carter dealership in Hamilton, Ont. had a yellow 69 COPO Camaro, 427-425 hrs, 4 spd. car earlier in the summer of 1969. The salesman I was dealing with sent me across the street to look at it however he didn't tell me what it was, ie he just told me to go look at the yellow Camaro in the compound. It wasn't very pretty; bright ugly yellow, yellow wheels, blackwall tires, blue emblems and a cowl hood. I went back and asked him what it was. When he told me I tried to purchase it but it was already sold. He was just teasing I guess. They had a 69 Biscayne 427 in the showroom and a W31 Olds Cutlass as well and I had been trying to purchase a 69 Nova, L78-4spd car. Quite a dealership back then. I never ever saw that Camaro again and the dealership is only about 25 minutes from me; I was in Hamilton often and never heard of it.

I actually know of a 69 Camaro, L78, 4spd, L89 car that the owner gave me a copy of his original Vintage Services documentation from GM. The car is black on black and he is the original owner. I haven't talked to him in about 20 years however he may still have the car. I purchase a rare Pontiac from him back then and he showed me the car and then gave me a copy of his documentation. Doug.
