Re: Hans' COPO pics
Marlin,
That was very interesting! I just read (a few months ago in "Muscle Car Review") about a Barracuda that was shipped to Switzerland and how it was a rare car because some of the options were not avail in a car of its trim level here in the USA. I also read in Alan Colvin's book "Chevrolet by the Numbers 1965-1969" about how there were a small # of 283 powered 1967 Camaros that were built, delivered to Bloomfield Hills Michigan, disassembled and sent "overseas" for sale. 283 Camaros! There was a Hemi Charger featured in "Muscle Car Review" (a while ago)that was purchased new in Germany by a US soldier thru the PX. At the track (that I work at)a racer showed me a Buick Regal that was manufactured at a Buick Opel plant in Brussels, the car was purchased by a diplomat new in '74 and brought back here when he returned home. And last but not least Kenji Ogasaki, who was the driver of Jim Dunn's "Mooneyes Funny Car" is a muscle car dealer in Japan.
