Very cool and rare car. Built in May 29th nine days after mine May 20th.

i hear from a former employee they run them together
same with the big cars (he said the american gm guys used to come to see the plant and couldnt believe that)

no L78s or LS6s all imported from the US (most i see is Baltimore) maybe Kansas City

Wow that is cool! A 69 post 300 deluxe SS396 in 10 code black! Is that car still around?

I think its a 69 Post Chevelle, being it was built in Nov of 68. I dont think there was a 68 post with a big block.

I have a copy of the documentation for a 69 Chevelle, 2 dr post, 396-375 hrs, M22, 4:10, with chambered exhaust, black on black, bench seat. I have seen this car and up until about 4 years ago was still sitting in a garage where it had been for many years. It definately needs restoration however it was in decent shape and was sold in Ontario. I thought I had the copy of the documentation with the ones for my cars however it must be in another folder. It did say it was one of fifteen. Also I expect they made more that 10 427 COPO Chevelles in 69 as the dealership I bought mine from, B & A Chevrolet in Toronto, had five that year and I had a choice of one of three in Sept. 69. A friend of mine bought one from the dealership in London and I saw one in Kitchener in about 1972. That is already 7 so there were likely a few more dealerships that had one although you never know. B & A also sold at least one COPO Biscayne L72, in 1968, which they advertised in Wheelspin at that time. This car is close to where I live however it is very, very rough and will take at least $50,000 to restore it properly. I do have my original bill of sale for the COPO however I do not have GM documentation as I do not have the car at the present time. To keep this writing in the proper forum I also have a 68 SD which I haven't driven for years. Doug.

is that SD  Jade Gold or Verdoro Green?

I do have some pictures of my 69 COPO and I have the original bill of sale from B & A Chevrolet.

Yes. I used 68 427 emblems at the time and they fit perfectly. My local dealership didn't believe it was a 427 so I contacted B & A and GM sent me, which I still have, the Broadcast Copy that followed the car throughout the plant and the shipping copy that came with the transport truck, of which I have both, including the envelope, not that it means anything without the car. I have a line on the car and may end up with it some day.

Do you know where your SD was sold originally?

Yes, it appears, according to my documentation, to have come originally from Essex Auto Sales Ltd., Essex, however the car was a local car, ie the original woman owner was from a small town outside of Brantford, Burford, Ontario.  I haven't looked at the protecto plate lately however I suspect the car was a dealer trade.  I knew the second owner from Burford and she had told me the car was ordered with air and it didn't have it.  Her story was that it was too late in the year to reorder so they/she took the car they could get.  As it is it has cruise control, fibre optics, wood grain dash, power windows, am/fm, rear defroster, tinted glass, red lines. disc brakes, rally wheels, buckets, console, tachometre, ps, 396-350 hrs, vinyl roof, rear speaker and unfortunatley a turbo 400, not a 4 spd.  It looks exactly the same today as it did in those pictures I posted even though they are really old and taken with a cheap camera.  I'll have it painted back to the original colour in the spring and put my red lines back on it or I'll buy a set of reproduction red lines in a larger size.
