That is good to here, when I new the car the term "COPO" was not used as well. back then I did not know anything about it. I was aware of Yenko Chevelles but did not know exactly what that meant. for the most part I do now.

Obviously I will not know for sure until I catch up with our friend. it sucks not knowing
thanks again for your time.

Mr Motion thanks for the details about the green COPO Chevelle from Belmont Chev! Do you remember another Chevy: a white Rat Motor 1968 Camaro that the 'Turk' had at Harveys? Thanks

yes I probably saw the car every night at Harvys I remember Turk though. I was also there the night the white 67 Camaro
302 came in 4 speed 456 gears,The first one in Torotno I beleive.. Shook the windows when it was idleing beside the building.The guys name was Ron I beleive
He gave me a ride in the car up the 400 shifted the car at 7800 rpm in all 4 gears csared the S--- out of me.WOW. The car did 1260s in the quarter with tires and headers.
The fastest car at the time was not a chevelle it was a 67
Boeumount was owned by a JIM ????.Dark green No one knew what he did to the motor to so fast.Man that brings back lots of great memories.

Here is a couple of pictures of my 69 COPO that I bought from B&amp;A Chevrolet in September 1969. I can remember like it was yesterday sitting at the intersection of Bay St. and whatever, at the jog just south of the City Hall and looking down at the speedometer and there were 6 miles on it at 12 noon the day I picked it up.




I'm not good at this so these may not show but I tried Doug.

Jims Killer car was never beat while I was there

There was a Green 1967 Beaumont SD around our area called &quot;Poison Ivy.&quot; BBC, 4 speed, straight axle. Fastest car around here. He was a friend of my dad's. When I saw the description above, I automatically thought of this car. It was also my parents' wedding car!
