69 COPO White with Blue ** Pics**

Joel;
Thanks for the words of encouragement. Through this site I have met lots of great people & have really enjoyed the enthusiam shown. The knowledge & respect most of the members have shown me & towards others is great! I, like you have run into others, or heard of others that are 'authorities' & 'experts' on everything to do with these wonderful cars we love to own & hear about. I am at a loss why anyone would knowingly put out unfounded rumors about a car, unless they really are not'experts' or unless they have 1st had knowledge about a car. Of course there are those who want to state their opinion or belief that a car has been 're stamped' or the VIN tampered with, etc. etc, on a car that someone else has for sale and that person putting out this information has no intention of buying this car. This is real frustrating. If someone asks your opinion, by all means, give it, if not, pls. keep it to yourself. I took my white COPO to VF last month in order to get it judged, show the public what the car was & enjoy meeting fellow members. I think anyone who took the time to look at my car & find out the story on the car would agree it is a nice car with lots of great history & NOT what some folks had rumored it to be. Sorry for the babling on, as I said in an earlier post, you hate for someone to pick on your kids.

Joel, pull into a show in a plain Black '70 Chevelle, no cowl induction, no stripes, bench seat, column shift, Malibu door panel badges and SS 454 on the fenders. Talk about exciting the "experts"! You wouldn't believe some of the stories. Used to upset me a little.....now I just sit back and grin.
Like you, I know it's real but I've quit trying to defend it. Those in the know, know........and the rest probably never will.

I too had a great time at the VF. Pat, it was great to see you again. Loved seeing your cars, thank you again for dinner. You have a great family.

Hi Pat. I wanted to go to the Chevy Vette fest, but couldn't make it. (Stefano, sorry for driving you nuts about going, then I didn't show!). There sure was not a definitive answer for so many cars being built, and who knows what hapened on the assembly line. (case in point- a 69 Z/28 in restoration found two marijuana cigarettes under the jute padding of the original carpet). You also have to deal with the jealous parties in this hobby, who are generally pissed at anyone who has something they don't. Pat, keep the faith! Chris, how did #38 pan out? call me or let me know. Stefano, what is the new car listed on you post? call me and let me know....Merry Christmas....Joel
