Re: 1969 Copo Chevelle
I somehow missed your other post, but...
I don't gamble, but I'd almost bet my paycheck this car was a COPO sold in Canada (those 2 late Yenkos are an anomoly), and was shipped either July 30 or July 31 (07E car)...a quick email to George might be worthwhile. And I'm betting I could get pretty darn close to nailing most of your trim tag...

Re: 1969 Copo Chevelle
Ya, I'd take that bet too. Vin falls right beween one sold at Central Chev, and one at Beare Motors.

It would be great if it was so the car has some sort of documentation since the build sheets and original purchase docs are probably long gone.

Re: 1969 Copo Chevelle
Our Beare Motors car was an 07E build, 13 after the one mentioned above. I've seen only one later COPO VIN.
