Cool find. Be curious to know what date BE it has. I would restore to original day 2 race trim.

The date appears to have been obliterated when the link brackets were welded to the housing.

My thought was if the bracket could be removed then the “day” MIGHT be untouched. There are 3 possible dates as far as I know. Might be a 4th.

Yep...I was told the seller knew it was a Copo...the photos I got are mostly the photos that are posted here on the first page. The potential buyer is a member here and sent me the photos in the last 3 days

I had the same question as Charlie, but now I think I get it. Some random middle man took the pictures and drummed up an offer of $50k. Is that correct? Really cool find. Love old race cars, COPO or not. Spent some time at Atco in the '70's with my 69 Camaro bracket racing and it was great fun.

I had a friend who has recently passed away. His name was Fred Crown, from NE Philadelphia. He had a '69 Camaro years ago that he drag raced called the "Gutter Snipe". If you want I can try to get more info from his family. Saw the provocative name and wondered if it is the same car?
