I recall a friend of mine racing AGAINST a blue '69 COPO Camaro from the Toronto area. we beat it pretty good with a '73 454 Vette. Late night street wars. We won the first 2 races THEN the heavy hitters started coming around. First was Competition Automotive's '69 Z28, then was Longo's "Gold car". We declined both of those offers and went home UP about a grand.

This was in the early/mid '90's.

A friend of mine bought that car from the family of the original owner last year. He also bought my green RS Copo.
It is still in the Toronto area. It was sold new at the same dealership my old one was sold at...BA Motors - Toronto

Bob's copo was raced by the owner and his wife. Had lead in the 1/4 panels for traction. I took this photo of the 1/4 window sticker while dismantling the car for restoration.
