Cool! What dealership did it come from? About a decade ago there was an original hugger orange with white interior L78 like that in Calgary. Wonder if its the car?

Helmut, it's probably the same car. Les Long--Oriental guy, goes through a lot of nice cars--found the car out East in the late 80s and brought it back to Alberta for restoration. Restored in 1990-91 (ie hoses, brake lines, clamps etc all dated 90 or 91) then went thru a handful of owners around Calgary (one guy owned it twice) then came to Arizona for auction probably 1994-95 or so.
Reason I think it's the same car is the same reason I bought it -- you just don't see those cars very often.
Met another guy from Calgary earlier today. Forgot his name already. Nice guy, brought down his yellow COPO Chevelle for the Goodguys show. Super nice car with Canadian docs, restored to world-class levels. Calgary really seems to a hot spot for car guys.
