Re: Dave's New COPO
The pictures really are amazing! I get home from the White Hall Drag Strip Reunion yesterday to discover the biggest 'find' of the yearhere on my computer! Wow! I can't believe the equipment that was still in place on that car: the BE rear 12 bolt, the curved-neck radiator, and to think.........it was just advertised as a '69 Drag Car Camaro! The biggest shocker to me is that the leaf springs are still in their stock location with only slapper bars bolted to them! These cars started getting big rear tires and ladder bar rear suspensions in them in the very-early Seventies and this car somehow avoided the gas axe. I'd venture to say that there's no way this car was raced past 1972-3 because it just wouldn't have been competitive against the big-tire competition. That puts this car as possibly sitting for 36-37 years! I personally recognize that damage on the hood from the alternator belt flying off and striking the underneath of the hood. It's happened to me! Anyway, congrats on the find. When you think all of these cars have been grabbed up and discovered....something like this pops up. They are still out there if you look hard enough!

Re: Dave's New COPO
Nice find Dave. With that green paint it looks a lot like "The Watermelon" Jim and Perry raced from years ago while at Ricart Ford.
