Default May Hemmings Musclecar Mag.

Has anyone seen the latest edition of H.M.M. What do you all think of the '70 Nova featured in it? Do you think it is for real? I don't. Look at the dash. Why should this one be different from all the other COPO's . Also, this is the first time I have heard of a COPO Nova going up to Canada.

LMAO! Just because you have not heard about it, must not be real 'eh'?

Not only is this car real, it's got the GM of Canada paperwork with both COPO #'s listed on it. Get some detail right here:

It was a great article and detailed pictures, also it was nice to have everything explained about the COPO NOVA'S. The best thing is that Pete ENJOYS it and Races it.
CONGRATS PETE

You guys should read the MCR article from '98 or so where he raced all three of the copos - the Nova went 12.99 on the drag radials! through exhaust manifolds! through the tailpipes!! That's impressive

Pete's buddy Jim races it cause Pete likes the automatic 69 COPO Camaros he owns but also races Jim in the Nova when he's in his 69 yellow COPO Chevelle that I could have bought before Pete. His 55 Chevy was a blast too when he took me for a drive. I nearly $hit myself.

I haven't seen the article yet, but I'm aware of the car that you're talking about and briefly met the owner at the Supercar reunion last year. I'm sure it's the real deal. Neat car and color too.

It's featured at the link below.
