Nah, I do not mind. It is the old 69 Camaro that I have. Here ya go.



See, most people think it is just a nice old camaro. They do not realize that it is one of the rarest Camaros in the world.
I expect the retail value of it to be around 200,000.00 to 350,000.00. Its really hard to determine, but I am working hard at getting this to Arizona.

Alright Knox

Yes fellows, It is a 1969 Copo (Central Office Production Order) camaro car built at general motors factory. It is a limited production vehicle,(exact numbers not known, but it was estimated to be around 700) equipped from the factory with COPO 9561, X44, a special high performance package including an L-72 427-425 HP engine, special ducted hood, duel exhaust system, 4-speed manual transmission, increased cooling capacity, and heavy duty suspension including a special posi-traction unit with a heat treated 4.10:1 ring & pinion. Power front disc brakes and radio depleted. This car was specifically engineered for drag racing competition.

According to Ed Cunneen (a camaro expert known very well in the camaro community) it is 1 of 2 known cars, in existence, to have sequential body numbers. The car is in showroom condition right now. Every part has been replace with date coded parts.

It was purchase on 6/2/1969 from Dale Chevrolet in Waukesha WI. Then drag raced. The car has a total of 9108 miles on it.

Hows that ?
