After years of filling the Walls with interesting FORD and Harley Davidson products and Memoroibilia, I am going to start a new trend with this 9561 COPO I just got!! Hopefully someone will persuade me to go Back to An All Ford Frame of mind! If this thing sticks around too long, it just may not leave!

So are you going to tell us about the white COPO ??????
12bolt
03-03-2005, 08:42 AM
Okay already!! 23,500 mile all original drivetrain awesome Chevy Supercar! this car is the COPO Featured in the Book by John R. Hooper "1969 Camaro's Reference guide A-Z" and on the Cover of US MUSCLE Parts catalog some time ago. The Car is in amazing condition. Never restored with 1 repaint that looks very nice. If it was a Shelby of this magnitude, I would be out of my Mind right now. But I hate to admit it, I am really excited as this Damn Car transcends any brand loyalties. A relic of a Bygone era. I was in First Grade when this thing first rumbled to Life. I could not turn it down as the Long time owner is a great guy. I actually brought someone else over to look at the car and he dropped the Ball! The owner contacted me and said other people had interest, so I had to grab the Ball and run with it. The kicker of the whole deal is I met a Great new Friend and we know so many of the same people it is Nutty that we never ran across each other sooner! and it was only 10 miles from home. The Car has not been shown in Ten Years. Now here is the even stranger part. It now lives next to My White SHELBY COBRA. I have had 2 WHITE SHELBY Mustangs, 2 White Fairlane GT's and a White 5.0 Mustang! I do not seek these WHITE Cars, They FIND ME!! But I am not complaining!! More to come tomorrow as It is late.

One thing I started doing recently, was to cut up interesting boxes that I got stuff in and put one side on the wall...
So far I just have a Hooker Header & Rick's First Gen "poster". Other things just came in plain brown boxes.

They are going to redo it. It is supposed to be more blue than it is. Waiting for the weather to warm up because all the cars will have to stay in the other barn for 7 days. Yes they are still wanting to shoot photos for their catalog.

Two questions:
Where's the Mule?
Which Merc is that? SL55 or SL65? Silver or some other color?
Charley Lillard
03-03-2005, 07:12 PM
Mule is in Detroit along with the Red Witch getting stuff done. Mercedes is a SL65, Silver Arrow anniversary edition. 604 hp, 738 ft lbs torque.
That looks so http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif Charley!

Thanks.
The floor was ground then had a coat of blue epoxy. Then sanded and a coat of blue Urethane.
There is a chip for the SL65 that bumps hp to 700@5800 rpm and torque to 932 ft lbs@2000 rpm.....I'm not sure what that will do to warranty though.

I feel so insignificant after seeing the previous pictures...
My wife gave me a talking Austin Powers cardboard stand-up for my birthday a few years ago. Turn on the little voice box and he says: "SMASHING BABY!" and "This sort of thing isn't my bag baby." and "Very shagadelic." The neighborhood kids love it when get out the cardboard Austin Powers. When I hit a snag working on my Camaro all I have to do is switch on Austin and I am ready to get'er done. Get the car done, that is.

Yes it is slippery if wet. I wanted shiny so I get slippery but it is not a work area. There is a additive to make non slip that is like sand. Made by advanced polymers but their web address is bad. Parent company of Sherwin-Williams

Does anyone remember a Plum Crazy Challeger RT for sale on eBay about a year ago that was sitting in a garage/wharehouse/showroom that looked like a road with the yellow lines. It had a old fashioned Mobile gas station faux front. I wish I would have saved the pics. The floor looked like black top with some glitter in it. Very well thought out. Here is a pic of my old garage.
