In addition to the above, it should also be noted this car is a 1 of 1 back-up light delete car. [/ QUOTE ]I prefer the term, "Reverse light Delete" If you want to Race me with your little Nova, you can get a great view of them all the way down the strip!

[/ QUOTE ] Hmmm...I believe we could settle that at SCR8! ![]() [ QUOTE ] is unclear if they were a Dealer Trade, or if they were Dumped on them By Chevrolet when that one Big Batch of COPO's was returned from the Dealership that received like 40 Cars. [/ QUOTE ] Are you referring to the ZL-1 Camaros? |

He Has been there since 1968 and was a wrench at Reedman before that. He has known The COPO since the day it arrived at Reedman as He wanted the green Car next to it! He Has sold parts for the COPO to the First 3 Owners and is one of the Many first hand accounts I have spoken with. He would be able to tell you the Actual Streets that were utilized for Tire Tread Diminishing acts of Bravado! ![]()

[/ QUOTE ] You get an 'A' for adjective usage. I was born and raised in Langhorne, PA and bought a lot of my speed stuff from LSS. However, any legends of Bucks County did not race in Bucks County, the real racing was in Philadelphia - from just over the line at the Woodhaven dead end to Front Street, to down by the Airport. Also, the only legend I know of is Donny Grasso.

One "Langhorne Speed Shop" and "Mr.Barry Ferris" in Particular. you should also be familiar with him, given His lengthy employment there and subsequent Purchase of said establishment. I attached a photo in my last post of "L.S.S." and this attachment will show Barry with The COPO's 4th Owner, John DiGiallorenzo. I never heard of "Donny Grasso". and his claim to fame was??? No disrespect intended towards Him or you, But remember I was 6 years old when all of this activity occurred! which leads me to my next question, How Old were you in 1969? I am Born and Raised in Delaware County and our "Activities" were in South Philly at Front Street, 11th Street, and Down by the Airport behind the Auto Mall and 63rd Street by the Junkyards. Of Course it was fun fun fun till the Cops turned on the Fire Hydrants!!

I was 2 in '69, so your car racing on the streets of anywhere was before my time. I got my fair share in though, also on Front, Woodhaven, Red Lion, and down by the auto mall. Remember they hooked about 150 cars down there the other year?
Grasso owned a few speed shops, and is the last registered PA owner of a '69 Yenko Camaro that Cliff Ernst now owns.
