VIN 124379N623763

Besides the Copo 9561, w/ factory 4:56 it's also a Copo 9511 car!
Great history, is all good otherwise?
Noted mileage is post resto.

Are the 14 inch rally wheels correct for that car? Was that an option instead of the coop wheels?

Nice and yes it has a mean stance

A COPO ordered with ZJ7 would have received 14 x 7 Rally Wheels same as a Camaro SS. However the reproduction window sticker doesn't list the option [or the rear bumper guards]. Since it is a reproduction there is also no guarantee the car was built with 9511.

Walden's ZL1 [N620923] was virtually identical to this car. I have a copy of the invoice from Brooks Chevrolet Co. Across the bottom is written &quot;R.L. Automotive Marietta GA paid 4/10/69.&quot; That puts into question the very dubious claim that Chevrolet gave him the cars. I have seen the paperwork for Bill Jenkins '69 Camaro PRO car; bought and paid for just like anyone else. Nobody, not even Don Yenko and Fred Gibb, received free race cars from Chevrolet.

The Mecum ad states that it is &quot;One of only two produced in Dover White with a blue interior...&quot; I have a window sticker copy for COPO N668741 which was Dover White with a blue interior. So that's three. No one knows how many COPOs were built in those colors.

The restoration seems to have overlooked the D96 fender striping, included with Z21.

I was at Lamar's shop buying a couple ZL-1 block's when a FL dealer called him after buying the car &amp; finding some doc's in the glove box with his name on them. Think the asking price was around $38K &amp; I didn't have that kind of money. Think it was restored after the FL dealer sold it
As a reference, Deuces &amp; Gibb Nova's were selling around $12-18K at the time

I have old pictures of a white-blue int. COPO car at a U.S. Camaro Club show in Columbus, OH. in the late 90's. It was owned by a guy in Columbus. Is that car one of the three?
