[COPO PETE]

Thanks guys. Yes this the Chevelle that was used in the "Killer COPO Shootout" in the Dec/Jan 98 issue of MCR. The car was drag raced years ago, and had a wounded axle tube that was never repaired properly, and let go once again during this shootout. Anyway, the rear was removed and put on a jig and properly repaired. So the original rear end is still in it, with some small weld marks on the one side, but it gives it character and a unique story behind it. All part of the history of the car now!

Nice car Pete. Does it have the two dashes and no paint code on the trim tag? Do you feel the Chevelle hooks up better or worse or same as the Camaro with same engine trans combo? (on stock tires)

[COPO PETE]

Yes the paint code is -- as with the Orange cars. My Camaro's are both automatics, so the 4 speed is a little more difficult to launch, total different feel. The Chevelle won't 60 foot so save it's life. If it did, mid 12's would be easy. The 4 speed really helps the mph. 112 with that car is neat, and it drives like a dream at that speed.

Very nice car Peter that Daytona Yellow is killer. Looks like Central Chev sold several supercars.
