Dave's New COPO

[GrumpysToy]

Here are a few more details on the car.
06A X44 57 fathom green 712 deluxe black int
427 copo , m22 trans(when new)
4,104 original miles on the body
all original sheet metal except hood
427 , aluminum heads , dominator intake and carb, chevy cable drive dist. , curved neck radiator,chrysler "HEMI 4 speed crash box" (the tranny of choice back in the day), original BB cross member, dual lakewood drive shaft loops, BE 12 bolt with summers bros axles,lakewood traction bars, front disc brakes were replaced with drum (for less drag Back in the day), dual SW fuel pumps,the sub frame and bumper brackets have been drilled with holes to reduce weight,no spoilers , still has all the original carpet and a lakewood bolt in roll bar.The original owner had the car painted as you see it when it was one year old, and for an old laquer paint job there is no checking at all from not seeing the light of day for almost 35 years.
As far as the class it ran in , he raced at AHRA and IHRA tracks and I don't remember the what class he said but from the way the car is set up it looks like an NHRA A/modified production car. But I will find out from the owner.

Probably A/MP in NHRA trim would be a tunnel ram set-up. Caleb's car is a perfect example of an A-B/MP car of the early 70's. Those cars ventured into Pro Stock on some weekend invitational meets at the local dragstrips. Looks like an NHRA SS/D car without the aluminum heads. Can't remember if you could run aluminum heads on a 427 in NHRA SS back then on a camaro.
