Anyone with info on this COPO?

[69LM1]

Has anyone verified the numbers matching claim?
And by that I mean that this is the born with engine?

Numbers matching does not = Original Engine.

Hence, the second part of that question! &quot;And by that I mean that this is the born with engine? &quot;

Well, I don't know about the details...but I like the stance!

Not sure about their term &quot;experimental&quot; for the tranny...the hi-perf TH400 was an RPO item starting in 1969...also, am I blind or is this car missing some heater hoses??

Great color...looks good in the photos...as for the rest...like he said, the bid goes on.

uuh, with the heater delete pictured on the firewall, I'm not surprised that the heater hoses are missing.

Well, it isn't like I am a player on a restored COPO anyway, but...

I do care about the integrity of the hobby. I don't know how everyone else feels, but I am pretty quick to dismiss a car that is on its third trim tag, especially with a fake window sticker that purports to be &quot;documentation&quot; of the car's authenticity.
Rich asked if the engine were the &quot;born with&quot; unit. I can't say for certain, but what are the chances it has a fake tag, fake docs and a real born with motor? There is a reason the stamps aren't made public.

Thanks John...Guess I missed that photo [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] anyway, I didn't know folks ordered them that way....I know about &quot;heater delete&quot;...just never saw one on a COPO car.

I think that heater delete wasn't possible on 1969 models, some regulation that required ventilation.

If you look at the window sticker it doesn't list it. It is an day-2 add on.
