Re: 1969 COPO chevelle
Just thought I'd mention I was the second owner of the car from 72 - 74 if you were looking for any history on the car. Sorry had only one lousy photo. You can blame me for it not having the original motor.

Re: 1969 COPO chevelle
Bill, I wish I had an exciting racing story to tell about blowing the motor but... I bought the car in late Jan 1972 and most of Feb it was cold and snowing. So one sunny day in March I went out for a drive to see how it would perform. I was driving along at about 80 mph and the pickup fell out of the oil pump.
As for the picture, it was taken in July 1973 you can just see the side of the car. If you look closely you can see a Bass 48 speaker on the rear shelf as I had a Lear Jet 8-track in it. Deep Purple's Machine Head was played many times on it. Andy

Re: 1969 COPO chevelle
Peter, are you refering to your car which has the same shipping date as the twins? Do you have shipping dates on the other Central Chevelle or the other Canadian Orange Chevelle?

Re: 1969 COPO chevelle
Andy,
Interesting story thanks for sharing. What engine did you replace the L72 with and do you have any more stories from the day about the COPO?
