Default Blue RS COPO

Anyone know of a LeMans Blue/Blue Std. 4-speed RS COPO that was originally a Canadian car that now resides in Michigan? The car is listed in the registry with no pertinent information.

There was a LeMans Blue RS COPO, sold by Early Birds to Bob Harris of Camaro Specialties in East Aurora many years ago.
I do not remember the colour of the interior.

I recall a friend of mine racing AGAINST a blue '69 COPO Camaro from the Toronto area. we beat it pretty good with a '73 454 Vette. Late night street wars. We won the first 2 races THEN the heavy hitters started coming around. First was Competition Automotive's '69 Z28, then was Longo's "Gold car". We declined both of those offers and went home UP about a grand.

This was in the early/mid '90's.

A friend of mine bought that car from the family of the original owner last year. He also bought my green RS Copo.
It is still in the Toronto area. It was sold new at the same dealership my old one was sold at...BA Motors - Toronto

Bob's copo was raced by the owner and his wife. Had lead in the 1/4 panels for traction. I took this photo of the 1/4 window sticker while dismantling the car for restoration.

Correct.....Bob still has the COPO.

The car was purchased through Early Birds from the original owner. This is verified by the "Used Vehicle Information Package " (sellers kit) from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation.
