Copo Chevelles
 

Since we sold our Chevelle, I haven't been around these sites much. The third COPO Chevelle is with the original owner's son in Vancouver, the last I heard. John passed away a few short years ago. I never did have a picture of that car, but it was pretty much identical to the silver one that I had. At a GM Autofest show, Scott Gay had a light green COPO Chevelle there. A Toronto gentleman I believe.

Thanks Keith!!

COPO Chevelles That I Knew
 

Ken, John, and I worked together in GM Oshawa. John's brother worked in the GM Oshawa main office and was the person who gave us the heads up that the 427 cars were going to be built. Ken's car came with the M22 and John's and our car had the M20. We all bought our cars through Beare Motors, Port Perry, Ontario. I believe that Ken's car was brought in from Chevy Yonge Holdings in Toronto. I haven't seen him in a few years, but I understand that Al, the salesman who sold us our cars lives near Haliburton, Ontario.

Originally silver, now black

Keith - did you know anyone who worked at the St Catherine’s foundry? I visited there quite a lot when worked at at Tonawanda. They were great people & great foundrymen.

I bought one of the 5 that went to B & A Chev in Toronto. That day, Oct. 1970, they had 2 green ones and 1 blue one to choose from in their compound on Avenue Rd. The salesman told me they had an orange one that went to Barrie and a yellow one which I can't remember what city it went to. Mine was green and one of the M22 cars. It also came with Uniroyal Tiger Paw whitewalls. I saw the blue one back at the dealership some months later and it was in for a new engine under warranty. It could have been the one I saw a couple of years later in Kitchener.

B&A got:

Fathom Grn/blk M22
Fathom Grn/blk M22
LeMans blu/blk M22
LeMans blu/blk M22
Exception order (paint)/blk M21

The exception Order was likely the H. Orange you mention.

Do you have the VIN of the one you had? If not, did it have factory 4:10s, ZN1 spring option? PM me, too much fraud on these puppies to broadcast details.
