Went down to Columbus, Ohio this weekend & spent a day with Doug Perry (SYC Member: hugger69copo). Stopped in a local antique mall in the area and bought this Jegs automotive race car team book from 1970. I have never seen one of these before. The book was in mint shape and has lots of cool pictures of old race cars.. Thought I would post some of the pictures... Enjoy...

I see that Dick Aron's had something to do with the Bobb Camaro. On of the coolest Camaros we ever restored was the Arons/Foust Berger Chevrolet 427 Camaro..BKH

Doug, I was wondering if that 427 Camaro from Bobb Chevrolet was originally a COPO car but I noticed the SS badge on the fender. Probably started life as an SS396 car and was converted to a 427 to race... I'll bet Dave knows about this car... Wouldn't it be nice to find where some of these cars are today???

Rich, that is the same car that Dave McGaffe turned into an RS car, it originally started out as an X66 car 396/375 when it left Bobb Chevrolet, and Jeg's transplanted the 427. If you notice the photo it has SS Badges on it. I spoke to a guy, I think from New Jersey, about 9 months ago about some parts, and he told me had an LS6 Chevelle and this car he was restoring as a real COPO car, I don't think he was to happy when I told him what I knew about the car, I also gave him Dave McGaffe's phone # to call and to confirm the story. To date Dave has said no one has called.

OOPS. Doug
