I'm 20 miles from the Dale site and have been involved in the hobby for going on 45 years. It is rare to encounter a Dale car [know of one L78 Camaro] in the area. The people that worked there only recall the #7 ZL1, the house race car for a short time.
In addition to the Dale COPOs, Yunker Chev [35 miles] and Hult’s Chev [75 miles] were Yenko franchisees. There were at least 29 COPO Camaros, 6-8 COPO Chevelles and a 427 Nova or two sold in this area. Other than one Chevelle and a dozen or so Camaros, the remainder are in the wind.
I’m certain that a few of them still exist in the area, parked for decades just like the orange/orange COPO.
