Hello folks,

Last week I was able to buy this BE rear end for my car. Still has the original heat treated ring and pinion and the correct circle hole spring plates and 16 tooth side gears. The rear end had been in a local race car for the last 30+ years in Lexington, KY. I would like to thank fellow SYC members Van Hurst for the lead and Mike Angelo for the detailed pictures on how to tell the differences between a regular 12 bolt and a COPO. The spring perches will need to be cut off and put back in the factory location but other than that.. it just needs a good cleaning. It's a little late for an 05A car but it's close enough for an old driver! And no.. I will not be drag racing with this rear seeing I've been known to tear up 12 bolts..lol..

Just booked our flight for MCACN! Looking forward to seeing everyone in a few weeks!
