When did you first discover C.O.P.O. cars

Summer of 1980. Just moved to Florida with my family and the son of our next door neighbor had what I thought was a '69 Z/28. Looked like a Z, with hugger orange paint, cowl-induction hood and Z stripes, but it had a 427. I didn't really pay attention to the bb heater core and curved-neck radiator, but it all makes sense now. He traded it for a super beetle about a month after we moved there; gas was killing him. I was a poor student, and couldn't raise the cash to buy it. Considering what they cost now, I still can't!
