TH400 CX - RogerD's COPO/Dick Harrell Chevelle
Picked up a real TH400 CX tranny in late December (thanks to Bob Harris, Camaro Specialties) . . .
Weather forecast for last Friday (Jan 20th) was too good to pass up so I took a VC day. By 8:30AM, Chevelle up on blocks in my drive, me on my back pulling the mild mannered TH400 installed in 2010 . . . By mid afternoon, the fresh OH'd TH400 CX was in and buttoned up with fresh fluid going in. Took a spin late afternoon through digital radar traps nearby, odometer was dead on . . . Throttle response Oh yeah, just like 40+ years ago . . . Local policeman as I passed by . . . Last edited by RogerD; 11-05-2020 at 06:58 PM. |

1969 COPO Dick Harrell Chevelle
It is in fact a real COPO and one of two or maybe three known KAN (KC, MO "Leeds" GM Plant) COPO's at that!!
The original Bill Allen Dealer Invoice I saved (scans of my circa '69 original docs) shows: TO409MP = L72 COPO Motor code (with a 12/12 bumper to bumper & 5/50 power train warranty) Harrell "transplant" cars had a 90 day warranty . . . 72/72 = Monaco Orange (available ONLY on SS and COPO) My car is not an SS, no SS trappings, it is a COPO Chevelle with a factory L72 427CI engine Last edited by RogerD; 02-23-2015 at 11:24 AM. |
