Re: possible copo
Steering wheel appears to be '67-'68 walnut wheel, incorrect for '69.

Re: possible copo
sc69sam after 27 years of 1st gens trust that I know the difference. A May built '69 would have a Rosewood wheel. The wheel in the photo is a '67-'68 Walnut wheel, not the same as a '69 Walnut wheel.

Re: possible copo
when I looked at this car last week..I thought the strongest evidence of the car being a copo was the heater box..it looks factory. plus the car had a 327 for years..sure the heater box could have been changed..but if it was..it was in the first 12 years of it"s life? were people doing that back then? if this was a small block car..and someone bothered to make the box change to a big block heater box..then more likely would"nt there have been a big block in the car instead of a 327 for so many years? what are the chances on top of that of a harrison radiator? the cowl hood has all the evidence of being factory original which is neat too. the cars original color being burnished brown with a white top is killer too. I keep going back to the heater box though? I believe this was a factory big block car...I'd be more convinced that someone changed the vin tag before that heater box!! unless you were on the chevy line putting these cars together who knows what was going on with the rearend and assembly issues..just my opinion.

Re: possible copo
Thanks Dave I do agree. The collective knowledge of this site is phenomenal. Hopefully some more history will come to light.
 Stefano, I can't say when it's going to be restored but after seeing the handy work of the boys from SCW at Carlisle over the past few years, when the time is right I'd love to give them a shout.
