Some more 70 COPO history stuff

[COPO 70 RS/Z28]

I have been told that there MAY be a few copos (early) that MAY NOT have come with a front spoiler im not an expert but I have also been told that you could not load on on a transport with the spoiler mounted (they would hit and break) so they would be put inside the car. This is what I have read (some of it on this site). I have a LA car which has builds with it but I have read that the Norwood cars did not come with builds ????????? I do now that some of the cars listed the "9796AA Rear Comaprtment Lid Extension" on the window sticker so maybe if a Norwood car had a window sticker It would list it??????

Again Im not an expert I do have a 70 COPO and love to hear all the history surrounding them and the information I can find out from others its all very interesting and fun to me.

Thanks

Mine looks like the holes were factory, But there are two of them which look like they were threaded. I think the assm manual sheet shows nuts on the all the fasteners????

Phil, Rich

If you are interested I have pasted a link to the article I referenced. It looks like a group articles from Road & Track, Stock Car Racing & Redline AMC Dealer Report Vol 2 No 3 Midsummer 1970" It was put together by Cameron Warren and James Crow. I know James Crow was a writer for Road & Track. Im digging a little further.

Well,

Mine is a little rough around the edges. Im trying to get it back to an acceptable state without doing a restore?!?!?!? Its been though a few owners and I think it sat in someones yard out west for 15 years or so Im going to be working on history for a while but ive got some good leads. Im very excited and happy to have it.

I can Attach a Photo but you would need to open the attachement

Like I said its kinda rough
