1969 Camaro Found With COPO 12 Bolt ?

With a Feb build date and a June Axle date, theres no way the axle could be original to the car. Now if it was the other way around.... Doesn't mean the car couldn't be a COPO, maybe the original axle blew up and thats a replacement, all it means is that that particular axle didn't leave the factory under that car.

Whats the VIN and cowl tag info? Does it have the correctly punched (not drilled) hole for the cowl induction hood wiring?

A few days ago a friend showed me the Ebay ad on the car you bought,X11, BB heater core, cowl switch on accelerator arm, etc. It really looked not messed with. Either way the parts were worth more than you paid. If it had a real BE that is a great bonus. Post some detailed shots of the firewall, cowl switch, BE stamp, etc. The trim tag was re-riveted for some reason. Early build for a real Copo car thats for sure. You never know. Good luck.

If the trim tag was re-rivited,then that would be interesting,the only way to tell then is by the vin?Here is the trim tag

Those rivets don't look original!

Real tag, bad rivets. But the tag date lines out with the VIN.

Dave,

How closely does the cowl date & Vin "line out" as you
mentioned? Do the non-original rivets indicate that this
cowl tag was affixed to this car sometime after original
manufacture?
