#225 This Hugger Orange 69 COPO Camaro is N643253 and was sold new at Ray Bryant Chevrolet in Dayton OH. This car still has its original drivetrain and was certified by CHP. It was ordered with an M22 and a console and was parked in '81 with only 24K miles. Verlin Hale purchased it from the 3rd owner several years ago and restored it. It was part of the Class of 1969 Display.

#226 This Olympic Gold 69 Yenko Camaro is N579034 and was sold new at Nankivell Chevrolet in Indianapolis IN to Rick Barratt. This is 1 of 10 built in Olympic Gold and I believe 1 of 6 known to exist. This is an ex-race car with 21K miles. I'm not sure who restored this car, but it was recently completed. Doug Perry had it being judged for Camaro Legends Certification.

I’m especially fond of this Nankivell car. Growing up on the south side of Indianapolis I was at Nankivell a lot with my Dad. I remember seeing the orange ZL1 they had. I’m imagining I saw this one but I was only 9 lol.

I don’t remember Rick Barratt racing this but do know his other race cars and his brother Marty ran a tight ship at Raceway Park.

#227 This Tuxedo Black 69 Chevelle COPO is 136379Z364805 and was sold new at Jack Head Chevrolet in Alhambra CA. It's my understanding that this car has a CE block and its original M40 and 4.10 rearend. This car is also documented with its original POP. This car was the January '02 feature car on this site when it was owned by Bob Gagliano. It was restored by Dave Tinnel over 25 years ago. This is the only COPO Chevelle that I know of that was built at the Fremont CA plant. It is also 1 of 4 known that was painted Tuxedo Black. According to the trim tag it originally had a black vinyl top. This car was part of The Dennis Payne Collection and hammered for $117.5K.

#228 This Hugger Orange 69 Camaro COPO is 124379N641030 and was sold new at Frost Chevrolet in Mechanicsville OH. I first became aware of this car back in '03 when the owner of the original engine for this car came on here looking for the car. Then in '05 this car came up for sale on e-bay with the owner claiming it had its original engine in it already. The owner of the engine and the owner of the car weren't able to come to terms, and I believe that Chris Cadwallader bought the car at that time and had it restored. It was restored and sold in '06 and at that time I don't believe it had any of its original drivetrain. This is a 4-speed car and only has 16K miles on it. It was part of the Dennis Payne Collection and hammered for $127.5K at Mecum Indy. I believe it still has the restamped engine in it, but there was another engine included in the sale. I'm not sure if that was the original engine or not.

#229 This Tuxedo Black 69 Camaro COPO is 124379N641088 and was sold new at Scuncio Chevrolet in Greenville RI. It was the feature car of the month on this site in 01/05. At that time it was a Day 2 car. It was owned by Ray Dupont, Kevin Hand, Mike Guarise and Dave Steinberg before becoming a part of the Dennis Payne collection. This is a 4-speed car and I don't believe it has any of its original drivetrain. This car hammered for $135K at Mecum Indy.
