Thanks for the info! I spoke to Dave Ewing (former owner of the delivering dealership) and he hooked me up with his former manager of the high performance area of his dealership. The manager remembered ordering my burnish brown car because of the unusual color and the RS option (he delivered a dozen or so copo Camaros). He even remembers the original customer who bought it! He's still around andI'll be speaking to him this weekend. Thanks guys for all of your help and encouragement with my "project". Bruce
p.s. the high performance manager said that he tried to talk the customer out of ordering a console because it was useless weight that would slow the car down! I'm glad that the customer prevailed in the negotiations.

Glad the info worked out for you.

Any other known Ewing copos on the board?

Sam

Bruce
Always herd stories about a BB COPO out of Ewing from the local Canton boy's, nobody knew what happened to it ...now we know.
Your car most likely had this little Gem of a sticker on the windshield

This was on a 17k mile Ewing COPO Camaro I restored for a local collector.

Mr. Chevy ,Rich here had some of these made, I think, Rich are you there ??
When you start working on this COPO you are required by sYc law to post a crap load of photos, in a thread that you start, on it's progress

We will be watching.

Testors has a kit where you can print waterslide decals on your computer... wonder if it works... would be cool to have the decal on the BB RS COPO...

Interesting, the trans was for sale just a few miles away from Canton. Wonder when it got separated from the car....

Thanks for the info on the Ewing sticker Mike. I spoke to the original owner of my car today, He is sending me photos of the car when it had 25 miles on it! I'll post them when they get here. He had many neat stories - took the car to the track with slicks - no tubs - and his best run was 11.84. He kept the time slip in his wallet for years (wish he still had it!). Listen to this - the reason that he ordered liquid tire chain was to convert the system to spray bleach at the track!
