Restoration of burnish brown RS COPO

Bruce,

I just got off the phone with Bob Shaffer. Very nice fellow with lots of information. He confirmed about 12 '69 COPO Camaros including his HO COPO demonstrator. Did he tell you about his 1st drive with that car just after he pulled it off the car hauler?

Anyway, what struck me the most was what he told me about the '69 COPO Chevelles (I asked him 2 different times just to be sure). He only recalls selling 2 Chevelles, one red, one silver?, but he is sure they were both 300 Deluxe POST cars! His mantra was to put only performance options on the car and keep the weight to a minimum and the 300s (with the "built-in roll bar") were just the ticket. I always wondered why I hadn't heard of he 300 DX post cars being ordered via COPO.

Good stuff Bruce - thanks!
