Need help - 69 COPO Camaro? - Page 8

Okay, thank you Matt. I suppose that is not unusual considering it was a race car to have had all that stuff replaced. If you have ruled out with certainty for me that the PE is NOT a possibility then the only other option is the BE. BE only came on copo cars if I have learned correctly. And with all the other items, evidence points to a copo car. ??? My next step? Owner history? Some type of documentation? Certification?

Ugh, roller coaster. :-)

Ditto to this information. Well identified and said!

Back-tracking all the previous owners is a good way to find out what you have. That is where I would go for now. Find out where the car was raced, search the tracks it was raced at for pics, try to find some of the older racers in the area where it was raced. Hit the local cruises with some pics of the car and ask around. Someone will recognize it. If there are any speed shops around, hang a pic on the bulliten board there asking for any info on the car. Check with the machine shops in the area the car came from. Same thing with the bulliten board at the machine shop. Ask the local car guys for contacts that may have raced when the car was on the track. There may be some old guy that has all the answers, you just have to find him.

Thank you Tony. That sounds like a plan. Thanks again everyone!! I really do appreciate all of your help.

I would also try to short circuit the search and go with a title history search here in PA. The form is DL-135 IIRC, and will cost $5 and needs to be notarized. This form is available on the PA site:

They made a bunch of BE axles at the same time, since they are put in a not so common car the date codes for the BE axles are limited. Maybe Kurt can clearify if the datecodes on this one falls with in the range of know BE axles.

0610 G2 is exactly as other known BE's!

Keep digging April!

Awesome!! Thanks, I will definitely keep digging. :-)

Yup, known axle code.

Everything I see points to this being a COPO. That and $3 will get you a coffee. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

I assume the car had/has a console?

It's not in the Yenko order group, IMO.

Thanks Kurt. LOL, I think that's worth more than a cup of coffee coming from you, besides what car person doesn't love coffee. I didn't think it would be a Yenko either. Still trying to do some research on it's history. Hopefully I will find out more about it. Now that the front fenders are back on, I'll try to get some exterior pics posted in the next day or so.
