Default Re: When did you first discover C.O.P.O. cars

Growing up in suburban Pittsburgh, I became aware of the COPO's because of Yenko Chevrolet in the early 80's. Having been born in 1970, I learned about the "good days" from my uncle. He was always a Corvette fanatic and his first Vette was a 65 396 that needed a new block in about 1967 or 1968. He bought one of the 396 blocks from Yenko that came from a transplant car. I always thought that was cool. That made me want to learn more about what the Yenko cars were and the COPO's as well.
