I think Rusty is in Indiana. Jeff,if you happen to find that number for the aluminum nose pass it along to me.Can't imagine it's still available though.An old buddy out in St.Charles Illinois,Tom,forgot more about 62 Belair 409's than I know.Learned a lot from him.Not sure if he is online though. He is too cheap for that. (that should flush him out if he is online now! )

Don't mess with old farts - age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and experience.

Hi, I am new to this board. I am currently investigating the history of the COPO system and found this thread.
FYI.. in a previous post....
I was speaking with the owner of Dave Stricker's 1962 Bel Air "The Old Reliable" during last year's "York US 30 Reunion".

The current owner Don Fezell considers Old Reliable to be a 63. He recently displayed his "3" Z-11s at the all GM National at Carlisle. The air cleaner covers alone are valued at $23,000.00. Sheesh.

In the same building were 5 of Gary Holubs Yenkos. Each in a different color.

COPO Heaven for sure..

Regards,

Tony:

Glad to see you made it! I'm just curious if you attended the recent GM Carlisle event? If you did, then you may have bumped into a few of the members of this board! If you attended the seminar on Yenkos then you saw Brian and Marlin, known as "BKH" and "Yenko Duece Registry" respectively here on the board. Plus, several of the members here attended, and are into the COPO cars BIG TIME.

So, I guess what I am saying is, "welcome", and I think you came to the right place to answer your questions!
