Yes, clone is the "dirty" word for it!
I started it before I found my 69 Camaro LM1 (and the original 70 Formula 400 4 speed, with an original documented 35,000 miles!). It was up for sale, now I plan on doing some more to it before I put it back up.
It is still being worked on. The car is a 69 x-11 that I bought as an ss, but upon driving to Texas to pick it up, saw that it was not. But for $2,200 and seeing that I was already in Texas with the trailer, I bought it anyway. It is an original red/red car, rear defog. It is in need of two floor pans still. I just pulled it down to the sub frame and in fact this week completed rebuilding the front end (new ball joints, tie rods, etc etc). I bought a disk brake set up and that is next weeks project.
Now, to the "engine", a 1967 Corvette 427/390 oval port heads.
I got it from a local guy. He actually pulled it out of his 67 vette!!!!!
!!!!! He put in one of those new chevy 502 crate engines. He had a local shop "build" the 427 and put it in a 66 impala, where it was running 13's. That is where I came in. I bought it for the "CoPo Clone" or "Tribute" car as I like to say
.
I also have a 12 bolt 4:56 rear that I got from the same guy. So, those along with a 4 speed tranny, are going to make up the drivetrain (with new gears in the rear).
I have a set of dog dish rims and caps to complete the CoPo look. It will be red/red again. Everybody is making yenko's, so I thought I would do something a little different.
