It was in the Otis Chandler's collection and a book with a bunch of his cars but that was a long time ago.

I had the priviledge of driving this car way back when in Houston when a good friend( Tom Johnson) had the car. It was and still is a sweet car

[COPO]

Does Tom have any other BM cars? I recall a magazine article when he owned the green 69 Camaro before selling to Otis Chandler and it sounded like he had a few at one time.

When I was fresh out of grad school and living in Houston, Texas in the mid-80's, I attended a Kruse auction at the Astro Arena (adjacent to the Astrodome). I was sitting in the stands when I heard what was easily the meanest sounding street car I've heard before or since. Out onto the auction floor rolls the aforementioned Camaro. I distinctly remember the auctioneer going over the car's rich-kid-from-Mexico heritage. I have no idea if the car sold or what it was bid up to. It was absolutely stunning and I'm sure I had a grin from ear to ear.

I'd be interested to know who the seller was and if it sold, who the buyer was and what the price was. It made a heck of an impression on me that's for sure. I'm glad to see it's still around and in great shape.

Would sure like to see it tear up the strip at an SCR too..

Tom passed on some years back, his daughter, son's and son in law are good friends. He had so many cool cars in his day, I remember going over there after he returned from car hunting and there was always yenko's or Baldwin's, or rare muscle cars to see! Roy

I was at the same action and remember the car very well. I wanted it so bad but had NO money back then. I talked to the guy selling the car and he said it was a no-sale because it did not reach the $25K reserve. If only...
