there is a possibility that jim hager still has the log book on the car, to this day he keeps a book on any car he has ever owned, the book contains fuel fill-up's, tire rotations and modifications to the car, he is sure that he has several more vintage pic's of the copo in it's first year of ownership as well. he also mentioned something about some kind of special "super tune" the car recieved in preparation for drag racing , the details continue to come forward

Great history! Dan told me about this car quite a while ago. It's great to see the history of the car unfold like this. I know he does a lot of research on cars and this is where it really makes it worth the time, effort and cost. I was fortunate enough to get in touch with the original owner of my JL8 car over on the Team Camaro website! He's already given me some unkown information on the car.

fortunately for us, all of the prior owners of the copo have been helpful and courteous. we are just begining to scratch the surface on the pic's and other info these prior owners have to contribute to the copo's final story, i'm sure we will have more great info in the coming weeks. ken has been kind enough to set aside a saturday to visit with three prior owners and allow them the opportunity of getting reaquainted first hand with their lost love.
