Heavy did not own the car in March of 1969. 01B date on trim tag, not much time between when it completed assembly and the 427 transplant 3/21/69.

Also, the lack of ZL2?

I don't believe there are any X22 COPOs built in January. Yenko's early order did receive X66. Also I'd like to see documented cars with more than a piercing and provenance. This car is not in any known COPO body batches.

The hole for ZL2 Wire is under Wiper motor

[Carleen]

The only Camaros that I have seen with SYC Crayon are some early COPOs
Cant remember if its a Yenko

Here is darker Primer where there was written

[Carleen]

The printing date of owners manual is later. I believe its May so I dont know. Cant comment on that

Interesting thread.

After doing a bit of poking around on the 'net, I found a pic of Heavy, standing beside what might be this car only the car in the pic has had the rear wheel wells opened up for tire clearance (just google Brooklyn Heavy then click on images and scroll until you find it, it appears to be a picture of an old photograph ... the pic is of the passenger side of the car).

If this is the same car as the one featured in this thread, I would expect some evidence of repair in that area.

One other thought, if the car ran Corvette side pipes at one time and open headers when racing, how was the exhaust able to wear off the date on the rear end housing?

Edit: You just posted pics of the car in primer and mention the dark areas of primer are where the lettering was yet the wheel well appears to be stock (certainly not the same as the pic I mentioned finding on the internet). If these are supposed to be the same cars, then that suggests the entire quarter panel was not replaced when the wheel wells were fixed (if the entire quarter was replaced, the lettering would be gone ... no need for extra primer). That would mean there has to be evidence of the quarter panel/wheel well being returned to stock.

Please keep in mind, I am not trying to state this is not or that it is anything ... I am just trying to figure out how the pieces of the puzzle fit together.

This picture?

That be it ... is this supposedly the same car this thread is about?

I added a bit to my original post since your copy/paste.

Yes, Carleen is claiming this is the car he currently owns and that it was originally a double COPO. Here is a better picture of the car from the same time period.
