Dan/Jody, thanks for posting/sharing the pictures. Nice detail work! Is this the 396/Turbo 4 door that was on eBay a few years ago? If I recall correctly it had the build sheet. Looking forward to seeing more pictures as the car progresses!

Right, I was going off memory of the ebay auction several years ago as the picture above isn't of the actual car being restored. It's from a movie called Hell on Wheels which came out in 1967.

I've got a question:

Why would a cop car be a COPO? I understand that cop cars are considered to be part of fleets, but every other manufacturer offered cop cars and no one uses any other distinction other than &quot;cop car&quot; while here it seems to be a &quot;COPO&quot; - why?

I assume this car had a 396/325?
