Stefano, I think Kurt knows which car I'm referring to. It's 11,000 units before this car and almost the exact same date on the rear. It's an 06A car, but from what I remember, isn't there an issue with a lot of cars being 06A and no 06B or 06C. This car could be a lucky swap on the rear to get it that close, but it's also quite a conincidence it falls very close to the time frame of a documented car with a late rear.

Thanks for the Link and info. So it is not that the rear is dated after, but for the long 6A month????

MR70 have you documented this situation with Chevelles as well?

I have not seen enough COPO Chevelles to form any kind of opinion on this subject.There's just not enough around.

This is clearly an 05E car. It has nothing at all to do with long 06A. And 11000 units before this car is early May.
Out of 283 May cars, not one has a June axle in it. Hence I doubt this axle is original. That and there's no way for a car to sit for 2 weeks on the line til the axle showed up.

Sorry, I meant 11,000 units after this car. It was Charley's old car but it was an 06A car as opposed to this one being the 05E. Obviously without documentation it's pretty much impossible to prove anything especially an exception to the rule. But here's a case where the car was never represented as a COPO so why would someone waste time and money putting another BE rear dated so close into a car and then sell it as an SS? Remember, they never built any Z28 convertibles or ZL1's with 4 wheel disc brakes. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
