Default Space saver Spare tire rim

My COPO Camaro was Built in the first week of May at the Norwood Plant. Delivered in Mid August to Reedman Chevrolet in Langhorne Pa. with Rally Wheels on it. it has a Rally wheel with a Space Saver Spare on it and the inflator Bottle. I was told that these are Rare. what is the story on these Space saver Rally Rims? second question is about the Tail lights without Reverse lights in them. I think they look cool, and I have seen COPO Cars with and without them. why is that?

I have also seen the tail lights without the reverse light in them. The white part is red and I'm not talking about an RS lense. These were the standard lenses.

[/ QUOTE ]No dangling wires. It has a Bulb that acts as an extra Brake light. I think it looks cool and it is the way I got it, so I am leaving it be. I will have to check the Harness to see if it is spliced or if it could be some kind of off road deal?? here is an actual quote from the First Owners Best friend about the car, "Man, the Day after Billy brought that Car home, we tore them Exhaust Manifolds off and put a set of Hooker "Super Comp" Headers on there!" when I first came to this site, I frequently saw the Term "Day 2 Car" used. I never heard it before, nor had any of my Car friends. I pm'ed a member who graciously explained it to me and It makes total sense! so I had a quiet Chuckle to myself as this Guy recounted the events of the Purchase and subsequent ACTUAL "Day 2" Activities!!!

How about the White 69 COPO with Endura Bumper in the December 1990 issue of "Musclecar Review"? it has The same Tail lights. does anyone know who owns that car? It looks just like mine.

If it has those wacko tail lights in it too, and an endura bumper, I almost guarantee it IS your car.
