: Copo id fastss396man Dec 16th, 11, 12:55 PM Hi guys, Happy Holidays to all... What identifiers should I be looking for to tell if a 69 Chevelle is a true COPO car. Engine ID stampings on the engine pad? Cowl tag? and so on. I know No SS or 396 badging. Thanks. Brian SS69Chevelle Dec 16th, 11, 2:01 PM Your best bet is to check the SYC web site. they specialize in the COPOs and/or Super cars. Alot of great info shared there as well. They also have some of the VIN lists you can check your info against. If you'd like I can check my lists and see if I have any info on the vehicle you are talking about, pm or email me the VIN and/or trim tag info and I can check for you, I don't have everything but a pretty good list of data. hope this helps.

Engine ID stampings on the engine pad? Cowl tag? and so on. I know No SS or 396 badging. Thanks. Brian :cool: Engine stamps; yes (if it's got the original engine it's bound to be known on the COPO site), cowl data tag; yes, but only the paint color code, and the "L" code (on KAN cars, I'm not sure BAL used the "L" code on COPOs) -- provided you believe in the "L" code. DOCUMENTATION, too. "SS" parts on a car that never had SS396 markings. Unless it's got a recorded COPO VIN, a COPO car that lacks the engine, docs, etc., is just another Malibu... :sad: fastss396man Dec 16th, 11, 5:03 PM Thanks for the replies guys... joe58 Dec 18th, 11, 2:50 PM post a trim tag photo also rear end code 70L34 Dec 22nd, 11, 10:03 AM Brian, any update on this car? fastss396man Dec 22nd, 11, 4:06 PM No new info... I was contacted to appraise 12 to 14 late 60's Chevy's. Among the lot is supose to be a COPO. Just learned that one of the attorneys (divorce) has a friend he want's to do the appraisals, so as of now I'm back out of the picture. I'm sure the other atty will not like the "friend" doing the appraisal but that's not for me to worry about. I am a disinterested 3rd party. We'll see if I get another call later on. As before thanks for the info you guys offered up. I was more interested in the engine pad I.D. to see if it was the correct engine. Happy Holidays!
