They're still out there (COPO) hiding in plain sight.

One dragstrip at a time Marlin...Lol. That is a long journey but it is a race car. That’s great news . Congrats on the selling dealer.

I heard rumors that the born with engine / trans were going to be reunited with the car and that the original owner still had same sitting around. That would be so cool!!

Being confirmed as shipped to Branine, obviously this wasn't a Yenko car (unless they were doing the Jack Douglass thing) but is it know if Branine did deliver any '69 Yenko Camaros and/or Chevelles?
This HAMB link has a few names of guys from Branine that may be worth seeking out in case they remember the car...

Also, here's an 03/18 Mecum link w/ a Branine delivered LS6...

Mulvane is my old home town. I know many of the old drag racers in the area. I will ask around. Yes, Branine sold many hi performance cars including Yenko cars back in the day if I remember correctly. I've got a drag racing buddy that has lived there his whole life that will definitely know, I will ask him. Don't forget, last I checked Kansas DMV still offers complete title history back to original selling dealer including a copy of the MSO. Good luck!!

I'm glad it was found and being saved. But one must look at what there going to do with it and what's it really worth?

The "Tin Soldier" '69 COPO with a lot of born with and known and documented history was for say for $92,000 back a couple tears ago. So this car without documentation and the born with would be what, say $90,000 in today's market. Maybe restore it over say 5/7 years and enjoy it while doing a bit here and there. Or restore it to it's racing history sort like the Soldier.
