I wondered how it turned out. Congrats.

Have you TT experts seen that "T" in "TR" misplaced like that before? Not suggesting a problem - just learning.

Re: Brents 1969 Hugger Orange Copo Found ?

UY coded radiators were used on all 396cid. 325hp,350hp & 375hp M/T equipped Camaros,so don't go by just that.

Re: Brents 1969 Hugger Orange Copo Found ?

Congrats, Brent. How 'bout a couple exterior shots? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Re: Brents 1969 Hugger Orange Copo Found ?

Nice and good looking,also verry COOL. Can I see it some day and can I have it. Ha Ha!

Re: Brents 1969 Hugger Orange Copo Found ?

BIG congrats!!!
HO is icing!.

Resto or sale, how can it get any more beautiful than as this car now sits w/ exposed details/heater box off/sanded stampings etc?.
Especially considering situations of late, has the time come where it's best to do a tidy job exposing details and leave critical areas 'as uncovered' aside from maybe a blast of clear where necessary?.

Did you get the car certified Brent? It's worth the $$ before you start dismantling it. Without ownership history from new - I'd get all of the expert documentation that you can get. Everything looks great so far, but after resto most of the unaltered evidence is gone. Just a suggestion.

Re: Brents 1969 Hugger Orange Copo Found ?

Nope, UY is a 4 core, only COPO's and 396's w/ AC. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Nothing close to that body #.

Re: Brents 1969 Hugger Orange Copo Found ?

Well it doesn't have AC thanks kurt

Re: Brents 1969 Hugger Orange Copo Found ?

I know every thing iam showing here can be bought or done to to look like a COPO but what i havent told you which doesnt prove anything .I know the people that have owned it and iam back to around 73 or 74 era to present it was a local car to me . It was sitting in a barn witch the guy wasnt selling it and i went to him from word of mouth.He didnt have a clue to what the tell tail signs were to make a COPO people told him over the years it mite have been .To Him it was a old race car. He bought it in 81 it was a race car then.The guy who bought it in 73 74 time when i talked to him he had no clue what a copo was he told me he just wanted a 69 camaro to race . The car was painted black with a 427 tunnel ram and a grumpy lump scoop 12 bolt and a m22 cragars and Mh race masters on the back with a lakewood bar going 10 30s and wasnt tub yet it was off the road by then being raced he tub it OLD SCHOOL if that what you called he did to it .I saw pics from him to show this stuff trying to get copys still at the end of the day doesnt prove a thing .
