I am trying to follow your story, are you saying your COPO is a 10E X11?

[ronnieredline]

the VIN is above 709000 way above it. the body number is 142845
i was told they started the body numbers over in august of 69 at 100000 is this right?

I have seen a 10A built COPO with a body number of 142850 that I believe was also sold new in that same area.

wow only 5 away fgrom my body number? i had a different guy tell me the same thing in an email that alot of copo's were done at this time and mine was right in the middle of the nest of them is what he told me.

Do I see a faint indication of a C about 3 spaces before the BE stamp? My 10D camaro has the C before the BU stamp on my z28. The late cars did have this as well as the 1970 rear housing casting number.

IF this was built early and waited around for installation, that will expalin the mid yr casting date and a late production stamp. Not sure if all rears installed that late got the C stamp or not.

well i can check but there alot clearer when you see them in real life and there is no &quot;c&quot; at all on this rear diff none, i will check the photos to see what your looking at
thank you

[ronnieredline]

i went out and checked and there is no way that there is a &quot;c&quot; there, it must be dirt or a hammer mark or something else in the photo, it is clear as a bell only a &quot;BE&quot; and thats it, could this help in research? i will show all i can, i have a better camera but i have to go get it and take some more pics.

[ronnieredline]

these are some of the photos, im going to try to get a better camera, the block is at the shop but i will get photos of it to, the rest macth my childhood story,mustang, 2x4 intake,me with the car etc...
thank you all for your help

im trying like crazy but i cant find but one of the muncie with the numbers on it, but it says 4 dowloads?

i think they made thousands of these copo cars, im begining to think they are as common as a rs/ss z28 or something, it seems everyone has one? glockner chevrolet is about an hour from me, and edgewater raceway is about and hour away, i took my car down there yrs ago and pulled an 11.60 flat with it, some old guy about 75 or 80 walks up and says hey you got that car now? it still looks like it did back in my day??? im like what?? yeah he says, it was here alot it raced against alot of chryslers and fords, it had a good record with the guys, but i asked who raced it? he couldnt remeber, he said the guy was a quiet type and looked alot like me?? good grief?? have i been cloned???, he said the guy had a big engine in it and it was all hot rodded up??
that must be his old school terms, but he said it looks just as it did back then hood and all, he checked it out, those were the days he said, and walked off in to a haze it seems now, i really wondered to this day what its all about???
i am baffeled by this, maybe the guy who sold it to the kid i got it off of is the guy this older gentlemen was talking about? man this is to much to figure out, i will never figure it out, the raceway doesnt keep records does it? i should call them, its worth a shot. maybe ole grumpy owned it or fred gibb hhhaaa hhaaaa i doubt it big time.
