Jim Minnick
Jim Minnick had a successful speed and machine shop in Nitro, WV for several years before transitioning to a diesel engine machine shop. He was NHRA World Top Gas champion in 1965 and was associated with Dick Moroso. He had a 1969 Camaro pro stock for a short while built from a copo car. He died some years ago when a vehicle he was working on fell on him.

Jim Brown
427_RAT, was Jim Brown the salesman at McClinton that sold your car to Wade?
Greg, Sherman tells me that Jim Brown had a green COPO car he raced that was an automatic, maybe that’s the car you’ve heard about in the past. Richard

I have original M22 case with this car and Wade to verify it was original 4 speed. Was this car you are thinking about sold new with an automatic?

Automatic car
Not sure if the automatic car was sold at McClinton. Does anyone know Jim Brown, my friend said he hadn’t heard from him in a long time.

Ooops
Sorry I didn’t answer you correctly. I’ll ask my friend if it was originally an automatic car but I don’t think he’ll know the answer.
