I was 20 min from the owners house to pick up the car when I discovered the original M22 and BE for this car existed. I was told that the BE was taken to a scrap yard two months earlier.

[/ QUOTE ] Wonder why the rear and tranny got separated from the car?

I was told that the car became straight transportation before it was put away so they put a 3:55 in it and a M21 to make it more street friendly.That matches what is in the car now .

Congrats Van...great you made it happen!.

Love how you own the top cars on my want list...the Copo plus your 935 and 962s!.
Copos may be on lots of guy's lists but most don't even know what a 962 is much less who the Kremer Bros are..

How'd your Dubai run in the BMW go?.
Simply amazing where diesel technology has reached in recent years..

Have you seen this clip before...who, where and what is it, a Lola?.
Poor animal and all but the driver hardly flinches or misses a beat!.

962, a Porsche, not a snowmobile! You drive that on the street?

That is funny... my son is probably the youngest person to drive a 962 at 15 years of age and today he is in Montana riding a snow mobile for the first time.Hopefully the do drive the same https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

I just sold this one a few moths ago but since you like the Kremer Bros they built this one on a carbon composite tub.. these are at Daytona. This was a fully restored with all the updates.. water water turbo about 900 fully dialed up about 215 on the bank

Back to the COPO .. I will definitley keep everyone posted . I am very excited about this car . My son wants to know his trade in value on his RS Z . I said to him " I love ya kid... you have never been short on ambition" he just looked at me like , " what the hell does that mean" ?

Speaking of COPO Camaro's, here are a couple of strong-running regulars at Raceway Park, Englishtown, NJ circa 1971.

Looks like one of the members on Team Camaro knows the past owners son and is nice enough to put me in contact with him .
