So?? How does that involve CRG? This is a stretch.
Neither are posting or appraising as the CRG. Affiliation does not make CRG complicit in their statements. </div></div>

The CRG is a tremendous resourse, none of my points are meant to be derogagtory to the CRG.

I'll try to make my main point again; <span style="font-weight: bold">1969 COPO 9561 L72 Camaros can sometimes be authenticated, verified and &quot;certified&quot; without any of their original drivetrain and/or with out any dealer paperwork.</span>

Point number two: A &quot;core member&quot; of an organization which specializes in first generation Camaros facts/data/assembly processes etc. states the opposite while another &quot;core&quot; member of the same first generation Camaro &quot;organization&quot; routinely certifies such Camaros as COPOs and happens to state his core membership of CRG as a credential of expertise on his certificates.

Who is the ultimate &quot;voice&quot; for the CRG? Does the CRG have any, even one single 1969 Camaros in their data base, which do not have paperwork or numbers matching drivetrains, which are classified as 9561 COPOs or potential COPOs? </div></div>

My car that was once listed at Nickey, Tin Soldier, has zero paperwork no original drivetrain, and has been certified as an original copo. Of course, the original owner is alive and verified the car, and it has nhra history.

Just an example.

Helpful Hint...If the car has it's original heater box (and core) a good indicator is to pull the hoses and look at the nipples. An original Harrison core will always have the crimp restrictions on the lower as pictured below. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

Or maybe this little wire clip on a X11/X44 car.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

The heater core is also date coded.

Always look for an Adam's Apple first. Then you won't have to go through the embarrassment of your above mentioned step.
