I believe that there was a burnished brown original COPO 4.56 axle car built.

I installed an original set of GM 488 gears in the 68 Camaro.

bought them from a member here for 450 about 8 years ago.

My rear end tubes were changed by the orig owner back in the day so the BX Code
that was stamped on there is gone.

I tried to find one to replace the rear end but they are so rare that its impossible to find one.
Also, not many people are looking for one either, as the 488 are a bit scary on the road.
How ever I love them and that's the way my car came with, <span style="font-weight: bold">(KILLER)</span>

I'm happy to hear that the rear was swapped at the dealer and the dealer ended up eating it. I'm a loooooooooong time GM dealer employee, and I tell people stuff like this happened and they tell me I am Full of S##T!!! I try to tell them it happened, I know, because I was there.
I know NOTHING about the car in this thread, but I had to throw in my 2cents about the dealership story! HA!!!

I have a 67 Z28 with factory 488 gears also.

The 69 L78 Nova that I sold had a BW (4:56) coded rear in it, looked to be dead original to the car, never out (posi unit and gears replaced)and was date coded perfectly to the car (casting date on rear and assembly date stamp)Was it originally ordered that way.? who knows, original owner's son said his father ordered it that way, gears ended up being too hairy for the street and changed the guts out to 3:73, all of those components were dated late 70 as I recall, have pics somewhere if anybody interested

yes those pics would be interesting
Please post them

I don't find it too odd for that rear and the car to have such a far spread in dates. There couldn't have been a great demand for '88s.....my bet is the supply was greater than that demand. I'm curios about some of the other components that make up the car. What intake was originally used? Is it still there? What fuel delivery system? Traction bars?
