[copo69]

I found the car in '83 or '84 in Ohio. Car was kind of rough but restoreable. It had a 512 '66 motor, no interior, needed some sheet metal repair,all trim was gone or unuseable and had been "rode hard and put up wet". I also don't care for Rally green. I was really looking for a 427 Camaro and knew if I bought this car I'd have to put the Camaro on the back burner. I called Vince Emme with the vin and he told me the story about it being the first car and was built due to it's motor being stolen. When I decided to pass I called Carl Dwiggins and told him about the car and he bought it. I knew Dave Tenille restored the car and Dick Bridges later bought it. Only saw it 1 time briefly after Dave did the car until it surfaced on display at Floyd Garrett's. What did you have to change on the car? Anyway, I found my COPO Camaro a few months later. I should've bought the Nova though, as well as a lot of other cars, but you know hindsight is 20/20.
