I prefer original as raced cars too but a real HO Copo Camaro is cool no matter what!
Thanks for the engine info William and looks like a correct replacement now w/o restamp which is actually best w/ original block admitted as MIA.
Cool car, please share any progress pics you can.

No I am a new owner it is very solid but the work done on it was not good I will make sure it is brought back the way it deserves I will not destroy its history but in the condition I received it no way to drive it and I am not going to drag race it so after I complete the restoration I will be able to drive it and show it and not leave it in a garage as a show peace.

Any progress updates on Old Deadeye?:hmmm:

Restoration is about 50% done it is at gaps and paint I will post new pics soon.

Any updates regarding your COPO? Was it originally an auto as the MO code on your engine indicates? I recently helped restore a similar dated COPO, with the build date and auto code of the engine the same, 0521MO.

Yes it is an Auto 512 block 3/69 Date MO Thank You Lee that tread has some of the finished picks

Was a local racer around these parts. Pretty sure OO was a construction company owner or contractor of some type.
