1969 Camaro copo on ebay

[Kurt S]

That's the dealer code for Scuncio.
Is that info from the NICB?

It would be confirm the car if he posted the drivetrain #'s.

Warren,
Do you know of this car?

Kurt,
I have never used NICB for info, how does it work?

I looked at this car last night, it appears to be legitimate. The rearend is totally covered in oil, which has been there forever. I cleaned off the area where the code was, and it is so clean you would think it was a new tube. Anyway it read as follows: BE 0417. I would say the rearend housing was the best part of the whole car.
I will try to summarizethe rest of the car. It had a short rear spoiler, missing one trunk spring, RS taillights. It had two holes that were filled, on the tailpanel, next to the drivers taillight. Must have been for a dealer emblem. Tweaked rear bumper. The rear wheelhousings were opened up for larger tires, so at the front and back there was no lip on the quarter, or inner wheelhousing. You can put your fingers between the two panels were they are separated.
The roof has all sorts of dents. Pretty good size cracks at the top of windshield pillar, on both sides, where it meets the roof. Rot rust at base of windshield inside of car.
Speedo is a 120, 6-7 tach, console gauges, shifter tunnel hogged out slightly, of course the wrong seats as seen in the ebay picture.
Curved neck radiator was dated March. Had the hole above fuse box, with some of the original hood harness intact. Throttle lever was for ducted hood. Had the Muncie hole in firewall, for speedo cable. Cable was still there. Wrong engine block, but it is suppose to have the original top end. The heads were "840" dated A.2.9, A.8.9
Couldn't get at the tranny to see if original. Had some round header mufflers in the way. The foorpan had a driveshaft strap bolted to it. The driveshaft also had offset trunnions.
Bill would have let me look at the tranny except he had no floor jack. I left my jacket at his house, so I guess I'll throw a jack, and some stands in my trunk for my next trip over there.
The car looks like someone left it outside for twenty years. The back window looks like it could be getting rot rust under the moulding in the corner. For the most part a solid car, just not pretty to look at. Paint code is 67-67.
This guy Bill, definitely is not hurting for money, so I don't think you will see any fire sale soon.
I will update you guys on the tranny info. Warren

Sounds like a good restoration project. If the car was done well it would and should bring the right money. I have yet to see a real High-Performance by Scunzio COPO. The build date on the car seems likley it would not be the first COPO in that area, but who really knows. As for the color it is very rare. It would be a dynamic package with the rally wheels and D80. An enduro bumper would really set it off in that color with the silver grill. Overall I would think it will make someone a very rare and attractive Camaro. I am looking through my old magazines, but have yet to make the DEB connection. The upside on this car is very good. Who will pull the trigger on this one?..BKH

Too bad on the roof, that's a pain to fix.
Is the short spoiler original? Real late if so.
Original distributor? That would help show that its the original top end of the engine.

Are the rear end tubes welded to the center section and are the rear spring brackets re-welded to the axle tube? A serious drag car may have had some re-welding done as it didn't take many runs with slicks to brake the factory welds.

Kurt, there is an 03B car with the short spoiler out there that is supposed to be original. Did I send you pics? This car does not sound as rough as it looks in the pictures. I agree with Brian, Burgandy with VE3 bumper up front would look awesome with a silver grill...............RatPack............
