Rick Treworgy Muscle Car Collection Being Sold
 

The other 1969 Chevrolet COPO Camaro 427 Coupe Lot F11 Rick Treworgy's Muscle Car City 2021 Jan 22-23. See here for article of this car at Superchevy.com in 2018: http://www.superchevy.com/features/c...69-copo-camaro

I've seen Rick's collection two separate times when I was visiting my sister. He has some nice cars, but most of them are driver quality with incorrect details. He didn't have that silver 69 Camaro when I was there. If the VIN is 124379N672561 it's not a Berger COPO. I saw that Camaro at Goodguys in Columbus back in 2006 and the owner said it was a clone. I then saw it at the Super Chevy Show in St. Louis in 2012 with the Berger emblems. All the Berger COPO's except 1 were 9737 cars which this car is not and all were February and May built cars while this is an August built car. The Orange COPO is 124379N644383 and is a very nice car. That one used to belong to David Whitfield.

9N644383 has GM of Canada docs.

mrays has incredible notes and pics on these cars. Great resource!

I thought I had a picture of the trim tag on the silver 69 but I don't. All I have is this photo from the Super Chevy Show at Gateway in 2012. The information I have from the tag is NOR104398, 711 69 69, 08C X44.

Here are some photos of the orange COPO that I took when I was there in 2017. This car was sold new at Central Chevy - Olds in London ON. This car with a number of other cars in Rick's collection were featured in the coffee table book Art of the Muscle Car.

He moved his collection from the old Walmart to a much newer strip mall a few years ago.The collection is now displayed in what was once a large grocery store,remodeled and much nicer than the Walmart.In moving,he downsized his WALMART museum display from just over 300 cars to right around 200 in the Grocery store now.
A friend of mine last worked Rick's museum in early November as security guard.He says Rick still has a LOT of classic cars in a nearby facility too.He owns the strip mall so he does not see Rick closing the museum after this.
He said Rick just finished building a big ass home less than a mile from the museum.He also has a “pole barn” on his house property that houses at least 100 more cars.
This past summer he had a group wanting to buy ALL the cars on display at the museum,he felt their offer was too low so did not sell to them,and is going this route.

HO COPO came from the factory with 14" Rallys - kinda cool IMO

Well, I guess that takes all the speculation out.
Glad I was able to see this collection 4 years ago.
Anyone going to that area of FL needs to go to Don's Garlits Museum of Speed in Ocala before he gets too old. I have no idea if it will close too, but he is getting up there in age too and that museum is a must see for gear heads and 1320 fans. All drag race cars, but some very famous cars from the 60's-80's are in there, NOT just Don's.

----Been to Garlits's place but it's been too long ago. Need to go back as I know he has added some more cool stuff......Bill S
