----It appears to be a nice small block 69 El Camino with a cool paint job. Emblem on the tailgate supports my thoughts!......Bill S

Looks like 425 427 written on front fender shining through the paint.
Also looks like Chevrolet written on the quarter panel.

I have a title from 2009 and the name there is Harold and Donna Steed Van Buren AR.
And it have weight unladen 3551 on the title.
Small Block 69 El Camino weight is around 3200

----The rear quarter emblem is the standard El Camino emblem. Looking at the lack of SS emblems I'll stand by what I said. If the owner took off the SS emblems it seems surprising that all the standard El Camino emblems were not wiped as well. Anything denoting 427 painted on would be suspect, but a 427-425 could certainly have been installed by an owner.....Bill S

1969 COPO Camaros do not have SS emblems.

I have no idea if there was a COPO El Camino in 1969. But if one is out there, I would not expect it to have SS emblems.

Original engine would be about the only way to nail it down.

If it still has the original rear axle, it should be the same as a 1969 COPO Chevelle rear. Would not be proof, but strong evidence if the date lines up with the car.

I found this online

According to GM figures, a 1969 Custom El Camino (13680) has a curb weight of 3350 (standard equip, grease, oil, water, and fuel.
Add:
51 lbs for 350 V8
47 lbs for TH400
14 lbs for bucket seats
12 lbs for console
12 lbs for power brakes
39 lbs for disc brakes
29 lbs for power steering
8-13 lbs for radio

Unladen weight on a car title may be based upon "base model" numbers.

In OK, the "factory delivered price" on old titles is definitely based on base model. My old Z/28 title showed factory delivered price as $2727. Has to do with minimum excise tax; and I suspect that the weight figure in Arkansas had a similar function.

I don't see any reason there couldn't have been a COPO El Camino in 1969. L-78 was available.

Again, COPO Camaros AND Chevelles have no SS emblems. Why would one expect SS emblems on a COPO El Camino?
