Seeing that ad from QC Chevrolet and the discovery of 3 with consecutive order/ trim tag no.'s makes me wonder. Is it possible QC ordered a batch of 10 COPO's, and that there are 10 out there that are numbered consecutively, 3 of which have now been discovered?

Hey Rich, you have been on my mind lately with your close ties to TS. This car we picked up was 3 miles from where Terrell lives, now. I recorded some of the conversation of owner history, but will listen to it again to get a previous owner’s name. It was a black fella. PO said when the car launched, it stood way up and that guy’s eyes would get big as saucers and he would have to feather it so it did not slam the ground. When he 1st got it, that is what he did, let it hit hard, and damaged the rh fender extension kissing the guard rail coming down hard. PO said it never would launch straight and was a handful to drive.
