1969 Canadian COPO Camaro build date tag 06C

John:

There are guys on this site that can help you sort this out.
At best you have a car with a fake trim tag on it. Worst case..... well, who knows. I have no idea if the story of two cars with same vin is true. Been lots of discussion of Canadian "air" cars. There are a few states in the U.S. where such "air" cars are also possible.

Wish you the best. Hoping you weren't defrauded on the deal.

I have not bought the car, trying to determine if it is real or not.
Sure sounds to me like the guy who did this one tried to make it exactly correct, but did not know the June cars had 06A on build date tag for all, he made it 'match' the GM Canada docs showing third week of June build thus stamped 06C. Probably not knowing about June cars being 06A back when it was done, over 12 years ago, that all June cars were 06A.
My speculation. I have emailed the guy who had it for sale back in 2002, never any replies!!!

Close, but caught now I think?

Do you have a good photo of the trim tag you can post here ? That may help you.

Lynn,

Yes the story of this car, two Copo Camaros with the same vin is true. A car was restored from the tags and what was left of the original body (vin stamped firewall, not much more) was purchased by someone in Ohio. What was left of the real car was supposed to have been purchased by the owner of the restored Copo with the same vin. Not much likely left of the original car on the current restored car.
