What's up with that trim tag? Looks like the body # is unreadable...

This car appears to have had a pretty hard life. The orig owner day2'd it immediately & raced it in Ohio & West Va. We even found a reciept for a speeding ticket under the dash (3/23/70). If you'd seen it the way I found it...I guess I'm lucky that the cowl tag was still there.

Jude, is there any other documentation besides Ed C's certification? Any owner history or paper at all? Have you been able to get any vintage pics? Who restored the car?

There's a photo of a notorized document, signed 4/21/91 from the original owner to the 5th owner. I recently spoke with him & he reconfirmed what he bought so, I have no reason to doubt his word or the document he signed. He also told me that he day2'd it immediately w/ M&H slicks, headers, T Bars & Cragars and raced it on the track & street. Ed looked it over 6 yrs later(6/23/97) & doc'd it. I also spoke w/ C.K. Spurlock who owned the Van Nuys BBrown COPO as he woked for Roger Dean for many years but, paper from the dealership doesn't exhist. Coincidently, I was talking to Joe Cheek at SCR7- he owns the Dusk Blue Roger Dean COPO, and someone at the show was there from W.Va. and remembered seeing a Brown COPO lined up with some other COPO Camaros outside the dealership in'69. Can't say for sure if it's this one but how many brown COPO's could have been sold there?
The 3rd owner sent me a pic that he had. I haven't been able to reach the 2nd, 4th & 5th owners.
My good friends in Donahue, Ia. did a great job restoring it, so I just sent them my favorite Supercar to restore -my Rallye Green Yenko Camaro, X-11, 4 spd...sold at Yenko. Can't wait to see it when it's done

At this years GM Nationals at Carlisle there was a burnished brown double copo. I was only able to get a quick look at it on Friday; didn't see it anywhere Saturday or Sunday. That car was absolutely gorgeous. I regret not taking any pictures of it when I saw it.

While looking through the February issue of Cars and Parts I found that burnished brown double COPO that was at Carlisle. It is scheduled to be at this years Barrett Jackson auction (Scottsdale) along with 4 other musclecars in the current owner's collection. It can be found on BJ's '07 auction inventory list. Awesome car, awesome color!

The Brown COPO that you speak of is at B-J Scottsdale now. Lot 1268.1. Just saw it again this morning.
It was last owned by my friend in North Canton Ohio.For what it is worth I believe it to be a # match drive train. I saw the engine stamps while the motor was out and they looked good. However there was never any paper on the car when he had it.
If anyone is over that way check out the "original window sticker". The car is inside.

I judged this car in Bowtie class at Carlisle. Very nice restoration but I never saw any documention with the car. Owner did state that Jerry M. certified that car. In my opinion the stripes were painted to far a part. It was a top restoration.

Your correct about the stripes, to far apart, do not end square like they should, and the quarter panel stripe should start even with the bottom edge of the quarter gills and they are about 2" high.
The stripes were added after the last chacge of hands, all they had to do is check a assembly manual for the dimentions

That's funny because I asked him specifically why the stripes were like that and he said the person who did the restoration used the stripes on the old fenders as a guide. Stated that they were like that originally from the factory. I knew they weren't.
