Yes

Looks like this may be a sister to mine...same time frame!. Wish mine looked like it...still have a long way to go.

ALbert

This was the 4 speed outta the pair of Orange COPO cars that were together for quite some time,,, when they got sold they got split up,, Jeff Landress in Nashville had the Automatic car for awhile ,, but not sure if he still does,, this 4 speed car is in Texas,,, and I second the "Real Deal" he bought it from one of the Super Car regulars over in the Yenko site,, cars very documented from wat I understand from Sean

I know Sean real well and the car speaks for itself I have personnely seen all the docs and they are for real the car is the "real deal". Shawn

Nick, BTW Sean kept the 70 said he liked the power to much LOL!

It's listed in the classifieds here for $165k!!!

Here's the ad from yenko.net:

very nice car. i wish i wish i wish!

Dwaine

What about the 66 featured in the recent magazine by super chevey. The Dana car in California?

In my opinion that car is all BS! You don't go 38 years and have never have heard of this car, and then have it crawl out of the woodwork!


Rocky

Mine sat in a barn for 17 years...go figure!

ALbert

that car looks straight up and awesome to me, but the one thing that throws me is that is the first COPO that i have seen with 14" wheels and tires :confused:
John

The single COPO (COPO 9561 427/425hp) cars had 14" wheels/tires...the double COPO cars like the Yenko cars (COPO 9561 427/425hp and COPO 9737 15" wheels/tires, HD suspension, etc.) would have had the 15" wheels/tires originally.

most of the 427 COPO Chevelles had the SS wheels on them. The ones ordered with Yenko's 9737 COPO came with 15 inch Rally wheel and F 70 goodyear wide track tires. The 427 COPO Chevelles used the SS hood, trim, lights, and black out panels. This one looks like it has the Malibu grill. I like the way they look with the blacked out SS grill with the bowtie emblem.

Hood grounding strips but no radio. Hmmmmm.....

Gentleman,

This is the Real Deal. These photo`s were taken by a good friend and I (I happen to be in one of the pics), the day the car left for Texas. This Chevelle was in the Chicago area for atleast 4-5 years that I know of. The car is truly a sight to see. I am also very familar with the "Other Twin" code 72 COPO 69 Chevelle that Jeff Latondress owned. Both cars are real and beautiful representatives of true American Muscle. I was at the show... the last time the two cars were parked next to one another. I`m sure one they soon they will again be parked next to one another.

Rocky
I dont know how you could make such a bold statement that the car is BS. It has been around since 1995 when it was in Atlanta at the Chevelle convention held there. It has GM of Cananda documentation proving what it is. smile.gif

My bad smile.gif 66+38=2004

the car is the real deal (I own it) I have had everthing checked out by 2 differant people ed cunneen and ont other which I will not reveal his name for his privacy. As for the hmmmm to the grounding straps they are not correct but the guy who did the resto made a mistake and put them on. BTW he died so I cant call him and tell him he screwed up. Everyone wants to beat these cars up I know there are alot of clones out there but this is not. I spent alot of hard earned money on the car and to the people I did the deal with were 110% straight up guys and plus I made a couple of new friends. I am changing some things up in my collection so that is the only reason I am selling the car and to whom ever buys it they will be very happy with it. Thanks Sean

Cube:

Thanks for the comment regarding the grounding straps. I'm in no position to challenge anything, I just remember a recent post regarding them. I normally stand back and listen when someone like Nick Lewis says it's the real deal. It is a beautiful car.

Bob, Not a problem I took no offense to it at all everyone will have some sort of thing to say if they see something out of place. Sean

I think it is nice to "see" a real one for a change, one that everyone can agree is real. Enlighten me here....I have just started paying attention to these COPO's in the last year. Not that I will ever have the large cash to own one but I find them an interesting piece of muscle car history. My question: Could any dealer order a COPO 427? I was somehow under the impression that only a priviledged few could, like the Yenko's, Scuncio's etc.

Hard to argue with all the paper that car has...especially Canadian paper. Would be proud to have it in my garage..love the color. I have not seen a 9566AA car with radio delete before..mine has a AM in it.
and yes I think any dealer could order one...if they knew how :D

ALbert

Sean,

Gorgeous car - for me, the ultimate 69 coupe graemlins/thumbsup.gif Wish I had the cash to buy it :( I'm keepin' my Lottery tix current....

Cube,,, I think its a fake,, a clone and a junker,, can I have it ,,,, :D ,, Id probly give up a body part to have that car,,,, maybe 2,,,,, Im glad you kept the LS6 car !! If I recall the pair of twins were last displayed together at the Atlanta 1995 or 6 NCOA Showdown,, I couldnt tear myself away from them,, I believe there was a green COPO there that year also, outta Canada,hard to believe I cant remember my phone number these days,, but never forget a Chevelle :D

This car is certainly the "real deal." It was bought to the forefront by Harry Snow of NH. He located the pair and had the resto work done. Harry sold the the cars in the late 1990's and is now into '67 L71 Corvettes. Harry is a great guy (I bought the "pilot car" from him in 1994) and a very knowledgeable Chevelle person.

Nick, I like that LS6 to much just plain balls!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to have one of your cars anyways to good to let go and to dang hard to find. I spoke with the guy who has the other 4 speed copo located in Idaho it was a pretty interesting conversation. He said his car did not have smog and his has chambered exhuast which mine does not real nice guy said he wouldnt mind having this one we will see what happens. Sean (cube) anyone need any office furniture? I need to support my car habit!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6161&item=4523700223&rd=1

Is this one real? He doesn't list the VIN number anywhere. Just curious, not bidding.

well Sean (AKA Cube) is a good guy, but you know one way to see if it's truly a real car is to take the heater box off and match the fire wall VIN to the vin on the dash, if they don't match it's an envelop car or factory mish mash, there are a few of these that have been accepted as "real" cars, whatever if you accept the Canadian docs then it's real.

I am back did anyone miss me?

you were missed about as much as a hemorrhoid.

Ouch that, very harsh and unfair

Hey Sean what do you think the car will pull on ebay?

Square deal to the power of 3

Originally posted by irongolf:

I see that it did not sell on the relisted auction. It sure looks like a beauty.

As for whether or not any dealer could order a COPO, once the COPO was assigned and priced out, any dealer could order it (if they knew how, as was stated much earlier in this thread). I met a guy from Brantford, Ontario, Canada that bought a Fathom Green one new. He tried to purchase it from the local dealer but they didn't know anything about it, so he bought one from Central Chev-Olds in London, Ontario. Apparently that dealership moved a relatively large # of COPO Chevies (including the only 2 1970 COPO Novas not to be turned into Yenko Duece models). Pete Simpson owns 1 COPO Nova, plus a COPO Chevelle and a COPO Camaro. All of them were sold through Central Chev in London.

I read that Fran Preve said 20 COPO Chevelles came to Canada. I can vouch for 1 Daytona Yellow, 2 Frost Green, 1 Fathom Green (scrapped in the 1980s!), 1 Lemans Blue, 2 Cortez Silver, and apparently 3 Monaco Orange COPO Chevelles originally sold in Canada. Not bad for such a rare and obscure car (obscure until the 90s that is).

Mr. 1ss427, do you anything positive to say, rathe rather than your poor and inane comments? It would be refreshing.

I agree, if he has a lot of rare parts and cars so be it. Better yet if he can sell em, more power to him!!!

Take a look at the now closed Ye-Haw post where he rags on people on this site and says that they shouldn't be in the hobby...Any one who thinks others shouldn't be in the hobby because they may not know as much about chevelles or not own as nice as stuff as him, deserves any ragging he gets.
There isn't any one on this site or in this hobby that shouldn't be allowed because they don't muster up to what he feels is the criteria for being an enthusiast.

What are u a policewomen graemlins/waving.gif

By the way Mr. 1ss427, I do happen to know at this point what my car is at this point, and it definately started out as a BB Chevelle, positive.

Dealer installed 427

Really a dealer installed 427 car, well that would mean its not a copo then wouldn't it?

How do you think they got the L72 motor for the passenger car?

Any dealership could get a CE motor, which if you have a DEALERSHIP installed L-72 that is what motor you got, ONLY TRUE COPO CARS HAD NUMBERS MATCHING NON CE MOTORS INSTALLED AND THAT WAS DONE AT THE FACTORY NOT THE DEALERSHIP.

Therefore if your motor in your so called COPO is numbers matching than it must have been RESTAMPED IN INDIANA BY GREG.

I don't actually deal with Greg Sir, I think you guys are right about him, or he just uses his paperwork for him and his buddies to either build real cars or fakes that no one can contest, I don't know which it is, and I don't care.


GOOD BYE!

GOOD BYE! Whats with the change of tune about Greg?
It wasn't too long ago you where touting how he was the man, as to being able to confirm your COPO.

So what is in your car a numbers matching fake or a CE engine?

It is entirely possible for a COPO car to have a dealer installed CE engine. If the original engine blew up while under warranty, guess what GM installed? A CE engine. Our 396 Chevelle had a CE motor installed after the original grenaded from a dropped valve. The Chevelle in question in this thread has all the GM of Canada documentation. Pretty hard to argue with that. Our COPO Chevelle hasn't been on the road since 1977. I know of another one locally that hasn't been plated since about 1988. There are lots of cars around that don't go to shows because the owners can't be bothered listening to all the nit pickers. Any more, my wife and I would just as soon go for a nice drive and enjoy the cars.

My COPO has a CE block in it as the original engine inhaled a valve, taking out the block and one cylinder head. I have the dealer repair order showing the POP stamp on top and instructions to "replace fitted block"..cool paperwork.

ALbert

Thats cool real replacement engine paper!

1ss427 good gosh, gee wiz what is wrong with you, you have a giant ceramic tile on your shoulder??

What are we going to do with you?
:eek:

:eek: Just asking why the change of tune?
your just assuming i have a chip on my shoulder.
I'm just trying to get the truth out of you for once.
You stated before your car was a numbers matching copo with paperwork on the way from Greg at DPE?
And now your stating it is simply a big block car that had a dealership installed 427.... so does this dealership block have matching serial numbers on it for your car? and if so how did they get there since a replacement block would have a CE on it and NO serial numbers.

pretty simple question yet you take great care in NEVER giving a straight answer.

Listen 1ss427 AKA (angie) My history research on my car is not complete, and is really at this point based on the evidence boiling down to one of three scenarios, all of which are Big Block. I am not to interested in discussing possibilities even if it's down to three. Last time I was way premature on the issue and people didn't like me using COPO as a marketing approach. I still believe that you as well as others were too quick with the scam and crook words, no matter, you are not owed anything by me, and I am not stating anything factually about the car at this point.

So all I can say is you do have a large ceramic tile on your shoulders, and I am wondering why you are not busy with your show instead of harassing me. graemlins/sad.gif

Who is "Angie" and what show am i supposed to be working on?

If i was Angie and was working on a show it would be called "Busted, how to spot a fake"

Your the only one who has a chip on thier shoulder, maybe because you've been busted trying to pass a fake.

Angie Dickenson (Police Women) thats who you remind me of.

I think you should star in the remake of Polcie woman!! graemlins/hurray.gif

From here on out you are no longer 1ss427 you are known as Angie!

You don't have to go away mad just because you where busted trying to pass a fake....JUST GO AWAY...lol.

Your probably the type of guy who hits 2 balls off of every tee and takes the better of the two, then never putts anything under 10 feet calling it a gimme' and then tells you hes a "scratch golfer"...bwahahahaha.

Angie don't be silly I am not mad, I just don't understand your issues and accusations and mostly your derogitory comments aboutg my golf game something you obviusly don't know anything about. here let me enlighten you angie go here:

http://www.nzopen.org.nz/SITE_Default/SITE_NZ_Open/Past_News/2005/All_Reg_Qual_Results.asp

That should clarify your uninformed opinion about one aspect of my claims.

It really is a NO-BAINER that you should of taken your time eating that morning.

but hey phuket you can't win em all.

Well Phuket is a very nice place, the big wave was a once in a hundred year occurance. You know the weird thing is when I got there in September I was sitting with my buds after a round and they were talking about some guy who predicting that Phuket was susceptable to title waves, we all just dismissed it, and then a few months later BAM, if you were on the beach and stared too long at the wave as it was forming going "whats that I don't know it's getting bigger" YOu stayed to long. I got lucky I guess, I am real thankful for that. Well I disagree with your sarcasm about the event Angie even it was meant for me, it's very disrespectful considering what happened there.

:(

Title waves? What are those?

Those are the ones ya get when your Spouse sees how much you paid for that 35 year old car that don't even run !!! :D

Hahahah! Mike your much funnier than Angie

graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Thanks, I can hit the little white ball too. graemlins/waving.gif

When the news came out about the Tsunami, we were wondering about you Al, knowing that you were down there.
Glad to see you made it OK smile.gif

BTW, it's a waste of time trying to argure with 1ss427, he has had so much practice doing that with just about everyone else here. :(

Hey Dean are you talking about Angie?

See Al...if you hadn't got all caught up in that COPO/DPE thing you may have been able to make the Asian tour graemlins/clonk.gif

Angie I have never been busted, it's always a lack of evidence from preme's.

I have been accused, but never convicted.

In my world if you haven't ruffled some feathers or been in some hot water you probably haven't done anything relevent in this world; So there Police girl!

Now run your fussing and run along now.

Hey Belair I just wanted to let you know at the Asian PGA Q school I injured myself, and had no way of working it out at the **** hole they had the venue at, my COPO or possibly a COPO clone had nothing to do with it. I am driving it now and very happy with it, it's a shame that I am selling it, but my 5 year round the world trip and boyhood endeavors are over, time to go back to work.

Cheers Mate
