1969 Copo ?

Yes Mark you are correct ...we are attempting to upload a photo of the engine compartment just after the motor was taken out by Dave McGaffee. We are challenged at the tech world Lol

Here is a picture of Doug's Black COPO after I removed the engine. Single fuel line cut off at firewall, original heater box, original cowl induction selonoid and throttle arm etc....

Did some one say that it had a shine heater box? looks like it has never be touched to me, also I NEVER seen a X11 with a 396!!!! someone also said it had the wrong fuel line (looks like a single 3/8 to me) NO cowl guts?? I can see in the picture the guts are there. ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT THE SAME CAR, If so I think some one is upset they didn't closed the deal before you Doug

Same car. It also needed rear floors because they were hammer modified for large dual mufflers.

It is Doug's car-he says it is a COPO so it must be. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

Here is a picture of the floors.....nothing needed replaced just a little straightening here and there. Most people would love to start with a car this nice and solid, it even has the original quarters along with ALL of the other body panels intact.

No guarantee of anything, but isn't that a small block clutch rod?

You guys can see what I saw and draw your own conclusion as to why I bought the car.... Visual inspection is far better than looking at a monitor.

Perhaps you overlooked one of my points in a previous post:

Why does it bother you that some CRG members disagree? Someone once said &quot;When two people in a business always agree one of them isn't necessary.&quot; We are no different than any other organization. Do you assume politicians, engineers, scientists, historians always have to be in agreement?

A case might be made for a car that was in untouched &quot;unrestored&quot; condition but just happens to no longer have its original engine or paperwork.

Replace &quot;Survivor&quot; with &quot;unrestored&quot; and we are in agreement and thus not necessary.
