Denis,
I think that my buddy Marty Iten's family might have bought what once was Jay Kline Chevrolet (if it was in the Minneapolis area). Can you send me their address so that I can compare? Andrew |

Thanks for the Ed Stinn info... look forward to your scans.
Steve, I'm close to Charleston where Roger Dean was located. I remember lots of muscle Chevys at the time with Dean emblems. They sold 2 COPO Camaros that I know of. Both were silver, 4 speed cars and sold early. One went to Jim Minnick who was a former gas dragster national champ and had a large local speed shop. Car became a Pro Stocker but no one seems to know what happened to it. The other car was purchased and driven on the street. I started getting info on these cars and ran across it in early 1980 for sale. At the time knowledge of these cars was real fuzzy. I called lots of people but little knowledge was turned up. The guy wanted $3500. for the car but had it not turned out to be legit would have been an old Camaro worth less than half that amount. I went home to sleep on it and decided to take a chance. I called the guy to take the car and was informed he just sold it to an eighteen year old kid. The protecto plate was with the car and I had copied all the info and eventually ran down the original owner. It was legit. I tried to contact the buyer but he was now in the army and his dad told me he'd never sell that car. Only saw it one other time.... a couple of years later, met it blasting off from a stop light with smoke bellowing from the exhaust and kinda beat up. I guess it was just a hot rod to the kid. Thats my fishing story. There were several COPO Camaros in this area. I remeber a few years ago there were 5 here in a 25 mile radius. While that may not seem significant to some of you this is a sparsley populated area. One of them had a Olds motor in it hooked to the gooseneck radiator. Greg |
