In Alan Colvin's book on page 41 under engine codes he has a footnote for the "IY" that is highlighted on the display boards.


"This code appears in Chevrolet COPO documentation. It was verified from the original block with the assembly code and VIN stamp intact.

1965 COPO Chevelle
 

Was this car only showed on Sunday, I did not see it on Saturday. I've seen a picture of it in the garage with the Olds 442 engine ,and the 442 shifter in it. I didn't think they brought it, but did heir it was coming. So mad I did not see it.

Dang sorry man, I did see it Sunday.

It was there Saturday. Zone 2 around the "Milestone" area. The floor plan map really needs to be in the center fold out, so we can read the ultra small print...:wink:

I saw it there Friday night through Sunday.

Love it too also great to finally see/hear the real story after years of bits and pieces.
Super cool how this one Post car was built w/ Solid Lifter L78/425 Hp when all Z16's had Hydraulic Lifter L37/375 Hp engines.
Anyone please confirm/add more info but there's three or more different cars pictured in this thread including subject '65 Post w/ factory L78, the Z11 powered '64 Hardtop also '65? Post Drag car w/ No Vent Windows and '65 front bumper which beside being pointed at front compared to flat 64's are also minutely but visually different at side tips too.
Here's some of Pauls pictures again but slightly magnified for old eyes also rotated for those of us w/ sideways systems.

Damn!

I still would like to see documentation explaining exactly what 396 engine it is. They say 425 hp like the Vette but where is that proven. Also where is the 4:88 gear rear documented ?
