#137 Here is Grady's 69 COPO Camaro N687908. It was purchased from Williams Chevrolet in Lebanon PA. It currently has an L88 backed by the original TH400 and a BE rear. This is one of the best Day 2 cars out there. It was featured in the December '17 issue of Musclecar Review. These pictures are from MCACN in 2016. The cars were parked too close together and weren't parked at an angle so it was kind of hard to take good pictures of them. I also saw this car at the Goodguys event in Columbus in '19. It was parked indoors with the large 69 Camaro display that year. I talked to Grady for about a half hour or so that day. He pointed out a lot of the cool Day 2 items on this car including the JC Penneys slicks.

#138 This is Kevin DeWitte's original owner Berger COPO car. I believe there were roughly 40 iron block COPO's delivered to Berger along with 1 ZL-1. There were 20 02D cars including the ZL-1 along with 10 05C cars and 11 05D cars. They were all 9737 cars as well with the exception of the Ben Wenzell race car. That was a bare bones X44 car with no spoilers or radio. The rest of the Berger cars that I know of were X11 cars. A number of them also had Endura bumpers and some were RS cars as well. This is N647846 and an 05C car. It was featured in the June '87 issue of Car Craft when Carl Dwiggins owned it, the December '92 issue of Musclecar Review when Milt Robson owned it and the August '10 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines when it was back with Kevin. I believe it still has it's original engine and has around 45K miles on it.

The "birthday" (The day he bought it) of Kevin's COPO is I believe today...He used to bring it out to Pavilions on it's birthday
It's also Kevin's birthday today!
