Dave's New COPO

[9SECONDYENKO]

Rich,there is a funny story about that car my freinds dad and uncle bought the car from Sam Gellner in cleveland and Sam was the second owner of the car the orginal owner was a person that worked at the lordstown chevy plant and he sold the car to Sam soon after he bought it and then Sam sold it to the Laroccos and they continued to run p/s with the car.I talked to Dean Gellner abouth the car and he had heard that Reggie Jackson had the car at one time.The orginal color of the car was dark green with black guts,when I talked to my freinds dad about the car he talked about how they had acid dipped the car and lightened it up and when they traded the car to Arlen Vanke that is was pretty much was used up.Is this the car from the Barret -Jackson auction from a few years ago?

The ZL-1 in question could be #53 124379N634918. Sold new out of Lyle Chev in OH. Did have Reggie history. The COPO Connection had it listed as being white originally.

I agree! If I had the money and dedication, I'd love to be running a real NHRA A/Stock or B/Stock car in competition. I love those classes wit the stock intakes and carbs, 9-inch slick rule and sub-10 second performances. Neat stuff!
