Window sticker is a repro.

Write up only mentions &quot;original POP&quot; and &quot;title&quot; as original documentation. Someone went to great lengths to age the window sticker.

SAME CAR? Looks like a 8K tach in the mecum ad.

Nice looking car. Red guts and all. With only 65 miles one would think the original brake pedal pad should still be there. But when you bang gears for 65 miles of your life things will get replaced.

Car has been discussed positively here a few times in the past..
Sold at 2008 Mecum, old listing link below includes Pop picture..
I'm on my kids laptop and can't read the Vin, can someone else see/post it?.

A good friend of mine owns the car and will is bringing it to Kissimmie. Stefano knows the car very well. It has the original POP, copies of the original title, day 2 and restoration photos. It is a beautiful car.

Repro window sticker photo has been removed from the Mecum ad.

Says a lot about the Mecum organization.

This car came out of the prestigious Sam Pierce collection. Sam is a Chevrolet dealer in Indiana. He was familiar with the car from back in the day, tracked it down and had it restored. It is the only White on Red COPO 9561 which I am aware of?

It is a quality restoration of a very well documented COPO. Queen City was a well known Hi-Performance and COPO dealership. There are other Queen City COPOs with similar equipment and grouped body numbers.

The &quot;Tin Soldier&quot; COPO is one such Camaro also sold out if Queen City.

This COPO is coming out of a very high end collection. It has been well cared for since it was purchased.

I remember seeing that car when Sam sold it. That is a nice car.
