Re: 69' Olympic Gold with 47 miles ....whereabouts
[ QUOTE ]
I remember it being offered a few times when it was red... IMHO Not painting a COPO the original color is a bone headed move... [/ QUOTE ] True enough. I would love to see my car painted back to LeMans Blue. Right now, black is in, so it'll stay black till the paint falls off.  BTW, it was painted black back in the '80s, so maybe whoever painted it didn't know it was a COPO.

Re: 69' Olympic Gold with 47 miles ....whereabouts
I absolutely Love the Gold on the Camaro. It's a shame that it wasn't popular back then, but then again, i think it makes it more popular and desirable today. Who restored the car. It looks great!

Re: 69' Olympic Gold with 47 miles ....whereabouts
Hello Kevin, The Olympic Gold Berger Copo was restored by Aloha back when Tommy was still in business. The interior was so nice, we didn't have to do anything to it. Once we started taking it apart, we could see what the original Olympic Gold really looked like so we were able to match it. Thanks Wayne

Re: 69' Olympic Gold with 47 miles ....whereabouts
Here are some photos of Ben Wenzel's COPO (Wayne's car now) at the Indy US Nationals in Sept 1969. Ben told me this was the cheapest copo on the lot when he bought it in June 1969. This car did not have spoilers, or the Berger stripe.
There were 23 copos on the lot when Ben bought his. Window stickers had Dick Arons Race Cars on them...... You'll love these photos, Jerry
