Guys that drive COPO Chevelles can get the"Chicks"
Phil, SYC Member "Woj", our Wives, Grady, SYC Member "1969grb", and myself all met and went to the Riverfront Car Cruise in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio near Akron on Monday night. The Northern Ohio Chevelle Club had the "spotlight" this night and the feature car was Chevelles so the club had a special area reserved for it's members and their cars.
The night was a little overcast but turned out to be ok.. Grady was kind enough to take Phil's Wife and mine for a ride in his 69 COPO Chevelle. I rode with Phil in his beautiful 69 Chevelle SS 396 survivor car and we followed them... My Wife never rode in a COPO car before and neither did Phil's. You can see by the expression on their faces they were loving every minute of it!! Thanks again Grady!!   This was just before Grady got onto the on ramp to the interstate and hammered the COPO in second gear, breaking the tires loose with the girls in the car.. I'll tell you that car hauls A$$!!  Phil and Grady's car together.. Both cars won awards (ribbons) for best Chevelles at the cruise.. Congrads Guys!!  Dealer badge on the rear of Phil's car  View from on top of the hill looking down at all the Chevelles present from the club..  Phil and Grady's cars again... It was amazing to me how many people walked by Grady's car and did not know that the car was a COPO car...  Phil's engine compartment   Grady's engine bay...  Grady's interior  This was a very nice 68 Chevelle SS 396, real 138 car, out of the Akron area. The owner was a very nice guy and recently finished the resto on the car..          I believe this was a real car with the lightweight front end.. Didn't get a chance to talk to the owner.. Very Nice!!    Thats all for now...... Rich

I don't think Grady is smilin cause he has a bad a$$ car! He already knows that!
 And again....there is nothing like survivor cars IMO!  with those 2 cars.
