Has one of the rarest 69 Camaro's made. "Lets park it outside for years and let it "

Seems a real shame that someone that owned this for so long would let it get into such a sad state. The values of these cars and many others have been known for years. I personally bought a '70 LS 6 Chevelle in the summer of 1972 for $2400 from a used car lot. I owned it for only one year before it was stolen but I can assure you that if it had not been and I still had it that it would not be in the shape that this Camaro is. I still have the build sheet for this car and it looks like parchment today but is very legible. This makes me sad because I am old enough to remember these cars when they were new and to see the great ones become so bad is just awful. The L 72 was the LS 6 of the 427 world and in this light weight car would have been a real handful on the street especially with the tiny tires of the day. I know my LS 6 was the same but very impressive. Nothing beats a solid lifter Big Block Chevy. Great video by the way. Also I noticed that the tach had the 6500 RPM redline as all the solid lifter motors had.

Learn something every day. I thought the ZL-1 was the only COPO. I always enjoy your videos.

[DaveMetzel-ng]

Really enjoy your videos and your knowledge about so many details. It's like you've been programmed. Your style of communication with people is very respectful no matter the situation, I've noticed a few videos were people have lots of vehicles and never completed a project they started over 15 years. It's like they continued buying rare vehicles and never will get any back on the road. They won't sell them either, but you respect them and continue on while asking great questions. You also pass along great information with respect to the vehicles. You were at a show with Cameros and Novas pointing out every detail on each vehicle that represents the year and style. Keep up the great work. Also, how did you learn so much about vehicles? Enjoy the journey and be safe!

Very informative video. Thank you for taking the time to make and post.

You missed a huge clue... That car has the correct throttle arm for the cowl induction hood switch. It can clearly be seen @15:26. Less than 7000 Camaro's left the factory with cowl induction hoods, so that is a rare piece of the puzzle. The cowl induction relay is still attached to the firewall also.

Don't get me wrong it's an amazing machine but what's the point in owning a car you are too afraid to drive because is worth too much

small town North Dakota 71/2 a guy had a 427 Camaro around town one summer no badgeing light brown . i would not know if it was COPO or just swapped.there was also a 440 superbird the the same summer these were local guys back from Vietnam.

Checking the inside of the door jambs for the stamping pattern on the door itself could also tell you if they had ever been replaced, deck-lid the same way. Doubtful any stickers remain on the core support but the emissions decal could help point it to being a COPO (high hp note). The car also still has the correct throttle linkage lever for the cowl induction switch.

Thanx for sharing your knowledge with us Parker, love the barn finds keep up the hunt for the holy

[bcbigfoot]

Awesome find. Dude kept a good one. It'll buff out

[Wootangtw]

Awesome video buddy.. you know your stuff about cars…

[jeremygagnon]

Sooo, its missing the original drive train, which is what MAKES it a high dollar COPO?Then its a 69 Camaro shell?

[saven]

When I bought my 80 vette I didn’t think to even check the body tag ….. and when I did I found out it’s a spc paint code car meaning it is the only known 80 vette to come from factory in primer only. I contacted gm heritage and found yes it was delivered to Matt slapp chevy as a body in primer car Not really a “rare” car as it’s just an off paint code but an interesting find none the less

[grubby]

Interesting seeing '68 door trim on that blue '69...

[jasonahlstrom]

Awesome find. Keep it up you really know those Camaro. Getting my 69 ready for paint this winter.

[jamesblair]

It’ll be crossing the BJ Auction block a year from now, with all its original drive train intact and accounted for.

[peterboyle]

Great info. Regarding the 512 block shouldn't you have checked if the 512 was a 2 or 4 bolt main. I think they came as both but surely the COPOs would have been only 4 bolts.

[jeffleary]

He said it had a 402 big block in it… why has it got small block motor mounts
