Found a 1969 COPO car in a BARN. The guy bought this car new. The motor is in the car and the only thing that looks like it has been changed are the valve covers, he said that he has the somewhere. Going to look at the car again tomorrow and check numbers out and take pictures. Will most likley need most sheet metal replaced (WITH GM PARTS) What is car worth? (I will not have to pay to have restored can do all work myself) He also said he has the bill of sale and window sticker.

Painting our COPO in a few weeks also. Dont get excited just a "clone" "tribute" whatever they are being called. But is does have the correct block, heads, and intake. You send me some pics and I will send you some the the latest cars added to the garage.

Now that does sound like the Van I know :yes:
And I don't want to ride in the back with "Kalif" again ... he screams like a little girl everytime we get a little sideways l
Nice find Van :thumbsup:
Being such a stand-up guy I'm sure went a LOOOONG way to you getting this vehicle and the parts to get it back together :beers:
Really enjoyed finally getting the time to read this whole thread

Bri,
I should have some soon. The motor came back from the builder sealed up and wrapped in plastic so we left alone but we are coming close to bolting on all the externals. The engine builder is another guy suffering from digital photographic non compliance disease..... impossible to get photos and the ones I got were not very good . I don't know about you guys but I like photos... I don't care if it is the same quarter panel from 20 angles the more the better.
I will have better drive train pics soon but you can see what I have posted in my blog .
I just bought another car in North Carolina last Friday so I need to go out there soon and will take many photos of the COPO. Hopefully by then it will be painted and I can do a little assembly
