Lots of great looking cars, The guy who does our news letter just got back from there. His family is located where the show was and brought back some great pictures.

TH400 CX - RogerD's COPO/Dick Harrell Chevelle
 
1 Attachment(s)
Picked up a real TH400 CX tranny in late December (thanks to Bob Harris, Camaro Specialties) . . .
http://chevelleforum.org/attachment....1&d=1604624283

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 . . . :D

Local policeman Waving as I passed by . . .

You should see his car in person and talk with him about his love affair with this car .Its an amazing car and even more amazing story behind it.

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
