I'd like to know more about this car.

....special COPO One of One M22 transmission

Why special COPO? All '69 L-88 cars came with either the M-22 or the M-40.

Notarized letter from Rick Tompkins as original owner and also explains his adding the J56

Huh? All L-88 cars came with mandatory J-56 brake option. Why did he have to add it?

What am I missing here? :confused

I'm taking donations to give it a good home.

I think they are just hyping it but they should realize that the people that are seriously interested know what it is supposed to have.

Looks like there are some fun modern goodies on that car. It looks less correct than my '69 in the pics, but that doesn't make it any less fun!
