That Camaro has to be in my top 3 favorite Camaro's of all time.

COPO and a burnished brown finish, how can you go wrong?

Love it.

Congrats Bergy,

Beautiful car. His 69 Yenko Camaro is no slouch either.

Thanks guys - I haven't seen the article yet. It's been a couple of years since they did the photo shoot at my house. Thanks for posting the picture Brian! I was in great company at SLS - ZL1 on one side and 10-10 L78 on the other!

Very cool and story. It was a gutsy move gambling to buy that car, but it all worked out.
Congrats---you deserve it!!!

And....this past years SLS had another Burnished Brown COPO. Brow sure has a knack for finding good stuff for his get-together.

Congratulations Bruce. Great article. Very cool car.
I wish I would have gotten a picture while Bruce was loading his COPO onto his trailer. The Burnished Brown really popped in the sunlight.

Thanks Marty. Mike....I cleaned some old PMs out of my box.

Also, I just saw the magazine &amp; noticed that the car is also included among the &quot;Muscle Car of the Year&quot; finalists. If any of you don't have another favorite among the 13 finalists, I'd appreciate your vote. Go to www.hemmings.com/mmoy (http://www.hemmings.com/mmoy) and vote.

Thanks again everyone &amp; don't forget to vote if you are so inclined! I made special copies of the article for my restorer and engine builder. When I dropped the copies off today, they told me that the Hemming's folks called them up to verify the facts in the article. I also sent copies to Donn (the original owner) and Bob (the former high performance manager at Ewing Chevrolet) - haven't heard if they were contacted. Hemming's obviously does their homework!

Sorry Bruce! Burnished brown gets skunked again. Your RS COPO is one of the coolest cars I have ever seen!
Happy holidays
