Little late to the game, and against the criteria since it was a privateer, but keep as raced for me. I sold the Tin Soldier in race trim and missed the car, so researched and bought it back, luckily still in race trim.
What makes the Tin Soldier COPO unique is that it is the only COPO that the original owner actually hands on built part of on the factory floor himself. Mr. Ron, the OO, worked at the Norwood plant.
I have toyed with the idea of a "detune" to drive to local shows. Great video below where we revealed the TS at the Camaro Nationals years ago, Mr. Ron initially thought someone cloned his old race car.

Whats really cool is that he still races and competes today, and his son continues the legacy with Tin Soldier Fabrication building cars.
