It's not much to look at these days. Sat in various storage places since 1980, but got painted RG prior to that. PA car all of its life. Was disassembled by a local professional body man (worked at local Chevy dealer for many years). Car is mostly there, plus he collected LOTS of extra parts. GM quarters (nicely installed), 2 new doors (plus original doors & 2 very nice used doors), new fenders & valences, etc.
I bought the car from 2 great car guys who have been chasing it since they first saw it in Leola, PA when it was nearly new (one of their friends actually looked at it on the new car lot). They helped me trace the history back to the gentleman (Rick) pictured below holding his pictures that I posted earlier. Rick worked at the York track back in the early 70s and raced the car extensively there. He said that his beast time was 10.97 with headers & slicks. I am only missing one owner's name (owned it for 2 years) since Rick sold the car in 1975.
I am obviously struggling to get these pictures oriented correctly!!!!

Great pics. Love the vintage shots..

Very cool find Bruce! Original drivetrain?

Congrats on another find...

You should start a thread in the COPO section

Very cool and very rare--but you already knew that! Could this be the only Butternut COPO?

Thanks Darrell for straightening out the pictures! To my knowledge, there are 2 butternut yellow '69 COPO Camaros. This is the only one with X11 D80. The drivetrain is supposedly "out there". It was removed & stored back in the day, around the time when the restoration was started - then abandoned. Never reportedly broken. Although the 4.10s were replaced with 4.56 in the early 70s. We're tracking it down, but I have no assurances at this time. The car raced with a TH400 (original 4 speed) - so the original trans may not be with the engine & rear.

Not the only one. The reason I asked about a Ohio connection is.... there is one local to me that was lettered up and raced early on. I saw it restored years ago and have lost track of it. I do have pictures of it and a pair of other COPOS from the same show at NRP.

Congrats on the score! :biggthumpup:

Very cool find. If anyone can find the original engine, I'd bet on you.

I only know of 2 BY cars. The Proudt car and this car (assuming it's 05E).
The trans was stolen in 99 or thereabouts, btw.

Yes, the one I mentioned is the Prout car...
