Any Fremont 69 COPO Chevelles?

[Woj]

Keith,

The car is very early for most known COPO's. It may not be one at all. But there is just enough there to make me think it is possible. I didn't get a chance to check the rear end code, although he said it was a 4.10, and I didn't ask if he had any paperwork. It wasn't for sale, but my curiosity is up there.

Oddly enough, there was another gent there that walked up to look at the car and he said back in '82 he bought a COPO 69 Chevelle without knowing what it was at the time. He sold it 3 years later and still regrets it.

Thanks for the inputs.

Phil Woj.

I wasn't making a statement one way or the other about the authenticity of this car. Not going to get caught in that trap. Back in the late '80s, I had people turn and walk away in mid sentence when I was at a swap meet looking for parts for our Chevelle. People weren't even aware that the 427 cars existed and weren't about to stand there and listen to BS. It's one hobby that you always have to keep an open mind with. Old rough original cars are probably a safer bet than a big dollar restoration. All the fakes are becoming a real problem. Fortunately, the collective knowledge on this site seems to be greater than most of the fraudsters. Pretty hard to get anything by these guys. The KQ rearend housing would be a clue as well as a tail pan that has never been drilled/pierced, along with the 3/8" fuel lines and disc brakes. If there is one documented Freemont car, there are probably more. It's highly unlikely that only one was built. It's always nice to find another COPO car.
