Re: '69 Turbo 400 code?
The CX may have morphed into CW for 1970.
I believe that is what the 1970 Z28 used. A friend has a COPO Camaro; the pop shows a CC trans...

Re: '69 Turbo 400 code?
Ok, went out this morning and verified a few more numbers, good news!
CY-69-1448 built 334th day of '68. Perfect for a December '69 car. It did have 6 torque convertor bolts as well. Looks to be 100% legit. Sad thing is, he won't sell! If nothing else, I now know where to come when I need legit real information. SuperCars

Re: '69 Turbo 400 code?
No, I went out again Saturday and spent another few hours checking the car over. No VIN # on tranny (which is quite common), had Tonowanda stamp, date and engine prefix on engine but no VIN number on pad in front or by oil filter. ALL dates codes of All components (excluding water pump, fan and radiator) matched car within allowable time spans. A week ago, I also had another historian and documentation expert with me and he concurred.
The car is VERY rough and I found absolutely NO reason or clue that the car was/would be a fake. I have been restoring/documenting cars for twenty five years and to the best of my abilities, this is no fake. Its a moot point as he won't sell and possibly won't restore the car. This car is also manufactured in New York and delivered on the East Coast and might have some history but that has not been verified yet. One hell of a find and a neat piece of history only a few can appreciate but not at this time. I can only pray it gets back on the road fully restored because of its rare existence.

Re: '69 Turbo 400 code?
It has a stock '69 Impala hood. I have never seen anything different, even on B/M cars. Maybe you didn't know I had been talking "Impala" all this time.......or did they have a special hood on these cars? I have never seen any reference to this before.
I do not however have any reason (yet) to suspect this is a B/M car or anything else for that matter. It's a bench seat/column shift car for one thing and VERY heavy.......
