Re: 69 Camaro find.
The first COPO's were built in Late December 69 and they were the ZL1's. They all had X codes. Now this does not rule out it being a Motion car or other dealer built car.
Try to find out the redline of the tach. Also the Vin and then get a NCIS report run (may take a little while) and find out which dealer sold it originally.

Re: 69 Camaro find.
Ok - I got some numbers on this car - if anyone can help that would be great. I learned that the rear end is not original to the car, The VIN is 530546, the trim tag reads 12437NOR140505
727 57 E 10D I do know it was Fathom Green with a white vinyl top and whit interior and was built Oct 68. The tach is a 7k RPM, I think the redline was at like 6500 or so - but I forgot to write that down. Has the enduro bumper.

Re: 69 Camaro find.
Mike,
First off, does the car have SS badges? Is the tailpan painted black? Does the car have multi-leaf springs? If so, are they 4 or 5 leaf versions? Do the heater hoses enter the heater core cover ( @ firewall ) in the center, or at the end closest to the engine? Does the radiator have 3 or 4 cores? Is the upper radiator outlet straight, or bent 90 degrees ( toward the passenger side )? Does the THM400 have a flat stamped steel cross-member, or tubular? My 69 L/78 was born 10-D-68 also. It was originally a THM400 car as well. Post what you find. It will start the process of determining if it was a small or big block originally.  Steve

Re: 69 Camaro find.
Ok - it does not have SS badges - it actually has Z28 badges - it has 5 leaf springs. The tail panel is the same as the car now but the car is currently Maroon. I will check on the other things.
Thanks Mike

Re: 69 Camaro find.
Ok - I did find out that it does have a small block heater core - I will get the remaining info as soon as I can. Looks like best case scenario that it may be a SS 350 or Z car?
