Thaks for your replys.

This is not Alberts car , I saw his on Detroithosrepower and thought it was this car but after talking to him he said his car had not come out of Canada. yes it is Fathom green. my friend had it re-pinted back them , I do not remember if that was the original color.

That plate was custom PWC, his initials 427 motor obviously. I don't know where it was sold from but he did get it from the original owner I remember .
All I have on the car is the 5 photos and what I remember of it and what our friend remember. plus the old plate as you can see. and somewhere I have the address where he used to live back then.

Innisfil Ontario is about 1 hour north of Toronto and 15 minutes south of Barrie.
how old an issue was the do you remember.

If you guys could maybe show that photo around I would appreciate it greatly.I can put up the other photos and fill in a few more items.

thanks for your time

Oops sorry.

Hey we meet again, I am going to a few places looking for help. as I said before I do not know for sure if it was a COPO but need to find out . I would like to find Pete just to see him. he was pretty cool to let a kid hang around and at his car. something I will always remember.

My wife knows a couple of retired cops and we are going to see if they can help track it in any way.

thanks

The car had kept the original motor in it for some time. I remember the first time he opened the hood , that chrome air cleaner and valve covers aluminum intake, he added headers. it spoke to me , you know what I mean.

To this day that car has left a lasting impression on me.

in the late 80's the car was running a 454 with an automatic . at the time he was keeping all that he removed from the car.
the car had wood wheel, bucket seats, SS hood, rear mount antenna. I don,t remember much more , I wish back then in my early teens vin numbers and other items were a concern.all I new then was it went like hell and I wanted it.





thanks again

These are the last two I have , this first one the photo is messed up a little and the second is the 454 in place of the 427. a camera was something I wish I had more often then, it was a 20 minute bike ride to Pete's house for me.but I'd do it all again.

Love those vintage photos!!!

Why oh why couldn't someone just happen to post some vintage photos of my car like that...

Did anyone happen to hang out with a guy that had a white COPO Chevelle with red guts and a black vinyl top???

This car was a factory Copo 427/425hp car bought new from Belmont Chev/Olds by a buddy of mine. He would come to HARVEYS at Jane and the 401 during the week and park in the third slot on the north side. This car was unique as it had no SS markings or stripes. The cragars were put on when new and Hooker Headers. This car was never raced or abused and The word "COPO" was never used. This car was very fast and a true "SLEEPER" for its time. Vince the original owner worked for a meat packing company. Car was sold around '75-'77 to a kid named Joe that lived near the Famous HARVEYS.
