COPO out of Ohio,
First let me say thanks for letting me post on this site. I am trying to locate the original owner of a COPO camaro I just purchased out of Cinn. Ohio. I have talked to 5 prev. owners and the last was a Mike Judy. He does not remember who he purchased the car from. He siad the car was delivered to him on a trailer by the people he purchased it from. They told him they were raceing a car at Edgewater Sports Park in Cinn. and needed the extra money to put in the car they were running at the time(some where in the 70s). The car was a code 71 blue and still had the steel wheels with the dog dish caps, black interior, non spoiler.He informed me he had thrown those old ugly wheels and caps in the junk pile and installed wire wheels, also painted the car red. I have seen several post on this site from people who live or have lived in the Cinn. area, and I thought some one who raced at Edgewater or live close might remember something. I have had 2 COPOs in the past and they were both from Cinn. I did not do any research on the other 2 due to the fact that I owned them long ago and the internet was not around and not many people in my area knew much about these cars. I live in Campton Ky. next to Brewers Chevrolet, They had the Yellow ZL1 that was lost for so many years. My brother-in law pulled out the original engine and installed it in Brewers race car. (put in a crate L88 and sold as a new car). I found the car in Walled Lake Mi. in a shed, so nothing is imposible. I know I am takeing a shot in the dark, but who knows. To any one who reads this, I thank you for your time. If any one remembers my car or anything about it I will be deeply indebted. Thank You, Robert Hurst
