Good looking car.

Looks like you’re right Bruce, especially being a Black Fremont car.
‘02 Feature notes POP but nothing in Mecum Ad also why no NCRS Report?:hmmm:

The mecum ad says it had the protecto-plate and so does the 02 feature.looks like they went back to stock wheel setup otherwise it looks the same. You could assume it’s at least a 25 year old restoration based on the 23 year old feature. I’ll be at mecum Indy if you need feedback on it. I own 2 69 copo chevelles and would be happy to help you spend your money!

Remember when Charley started up the Rolls Royce Merlin in the 55 Chevy and blew the pictures off the wall? Amazingly loud and you could feel it in your chest.

Big Block Bill 04-19-2025 02:14 AM

Thank You for everyone’s input. I look forward to Mecum Indy. Bill

That was a great event. Glad I was in town to be able to attend and Steve was a great host. Anyone recall what year that was?

Thanks for this! I did own a 69 COPO 427 Chevelle engine and the car came from the Kansas City plant! I am still looking for this car as the engine was removed in '72 when the owner traded the Chevelle for a 1972 Corvette! I bought the engine from his garage where he had stored it for 40+ years!

Debbie & Dennis are indeed wonderful people. The Black Fremont COPO Chevelle did belong to Bob Gagliano. It was at one of the early MCACN events and the Payne's fell in lust with it. It has been in their collection since.

ryanchevelle 05-25-2025 01:30 AM

Did you end up winning the car? Felt like it went cheap.

chevelleheart 05-28-2025 02:09 AM

Really cheap IMO for a known COPO
