Says. Dick Aarons racing engines on back quarters...

Also.. Didn't Eaton have his own car and Lance drove the Golden car?

Great to see a Canadian COPO. I often wonder what became of the yellow COPO camaro that I looked at in the summer of 1969 in Hamilton, Ontario at Maurice Carter Chev. Olds. It was already sold when I saw it and was in their compound across the street from the dealership. Has that car ever been accounted for or is it lost?

The third owner gave me this pic. He believes it was taken in the 90s with Peter Janda next to the car. Can anyone confirm if the person in the photo is in fact Janda? Tom Hurst, the original owner?

Thanks again to everyone who contacted me.
