Need help - 69 COPO Camaro?

What about pictures of what the car actually looks like! I am interested to see this cool old drag car!

LOL, Matt!! When we get done fooling around underneath it we will get it off the jack stands and out of the garage. I'll be able to get some outside pics then. :-)
I will try to get a pic from a different angle on the radiator. It does turn up just slightly but it doesn't look like it in the picture. Bobby and I were both wondering what the heck was added onto the side. Not sure what purpose it serves. There doesn't appear to be any welding anywhere else. I'll see if I can find any numbers and let you know.
The sticker on the gauge cluster has a cluster number and then it list a number beside speedo and nothing beside tach so I'm really not sure what it means if anything or if it would be helpful at all.
Thanks guys!! I really appreciate all of the help.

Jan - Are the pictures of the transmission crossmember helpful at all?
</div></div>

Thanks, yes very helpful.

Since X11 cars were normally equipped with smallblock engines a TH400 crossmember is a pretty strong evidence of this being a COPO since that transmission is for bigblocks only.


But for you to be on the safe side I would suggest you to get it inspected.


Good Luck with it [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/Can-I-Have-It.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Well, BUMMER! That didn't help us. Not sure how bad it hurts (it is still a 12 bolt and it does still have the E in the stamping on the axle tube) but I didn't find what I had hoped for. You guys were, of course, right on the money that it wouldn't be hard to remove. ;-) Just took a little time. I posted the pics. The cover is still off so I can get other pics if there is something else you'd like to see.

looks like it has 456 gears what are all the numbers on the ring gear can not see in pics

[April L]

Okay Barry, which one is the ring gear?

[budnate]

looks like a ring gear spacer......

[Fast67VelleN2O]

Actually thats a 3 series OPEN carrier with a mini spool and a ring gear spacer.

Alright guys, you lost me. What does all that mean? Also, how could it be a PE with 12 bolts? I'm soooooo confused. Speak slowly with lots of pictures. :-)

A PE rear end is a 10 bolt rear only. So don't even bring that up. It CANNOT be a PE with the fact that its a 12 bolt rear end. It is very likely that you have a BE 12 bolt rear end housing, however, everything inside the housing has been replaced. There is a 12 bolt 3 series open (non posi) carrier installed with a ring gear spacer and a set of 4 series 4.56 gears. None of those parts are original to a 12 bolt BE rear end.
