Default Re: 69' Olympic Gold with 47 miles ....whereabouts

That was the car Ben Wenzel owned. He raced it awhile with the odometer disconnected he told me. He thought it had about 500 miles, crazy paint job, M22 was the only option, non-9737 Berger Copo. Somehow it was restored and painted red and for sale at a Fla. dealer some years ago.
The car was ordered by Ahrens/Booth for racing but took so long to arrive they built a 396 car instead. When Ben called Berger in July '69 he said they had over 20 Copos on the lot, he wanted the cheapest one, the gold car.
It may be the one at Wayne's collection in Colo., I'm not sure.
