RS COPO from 1971
 

I'm finally getting around to posting some old pics of my car. I got these from the second owner. I think he said these were from 1971 shortly after he got it.

Think the studded snow tires gave it any better traction? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I was also wanting to see if anyone recognized the car from
KilKare or Edgewater dragstrips, around the early 70's.

Hopefully it will be restored back to this condition soon.

Later,
Eric

Here is another one.

Eric, what color is that ?

Re: RS COPO from 1971
 

Very cool! Looks like Azure to me.

Re: RS COPO from 1971
 

I THOUGHT LV'S COPO WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THAT COLOR. IS THAT THE SAME CAR?

Re: RS COPO from 1971
 

Definitely not LV's car, looks like there was another Azure COPO prowling the streets in the Northeast! If its indeed a code 55 paint car, its the only other one I have ever seen or heard of. Car looks very similarly equipped, vinyl top, RS package... would be interesting to compare the sequence numbers on the 2...got any more pics?

COPO Anders COPO is on Body Number off LVs COPO RS hence his intense picture taking of the car at SCR8 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Old photo, the car is Lemans blue. Another loaded Frost Chevrolet RS Copo! Great picture! Its a good thing you never sold that 12 bolt from that car years ago! Good thing the buyer was looking for a BV not some "wrong" BE! I look forward to seeing this one done, along with the black RS Copo from Frost.

You are right Mark. I would still be kicking myself, if I had back-halfed the car like I had first planned.
I guess that running short on project funds does have a good side, once in a while.
I will post picture updates once the resto get under way.

The car is:
ST69 12437 NOR111140 BDY
TR 712 71 B PNT
09A X11D80

I was going to say LeMans since I photocopied all of Marks stuff when I was at his shop one day.

Re: RS COPO from 1971
 

McDorman Chevrolet in Columbus sold an Azure Turquise COPO, whereabouts unknown.
Of the 5 cars that Frost sold, one was Burnished Brown, but I don't know if it was a RS car. The Rally Green car in Springfield, OH was not a RS. I am not familiar with the Black car. Whose car is that?
The 5th car is lost, to the best of my knowledge. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif
Show us some new pics, Eric!

Re: RS COPO from 1971
 

Isn't the black RS Copo Ed Ernst's? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: RS COPO from 1971
 

The brown one is also an RS and part of their second(?) order.

I believe that the early order cars were non RS.

One of the missing cars may have been Code:69 B X11(?)

Re: RS COPO from 1971
 

Yes, the black RS car is Ed's.
I think it is at SCW right now being restored.

The brown car was an RS car too.
It is the next body number after mine (NOR111141).
Who owns the brown car now??? I haven't been able to find it after it sold at B-J.

Re: RS COPO from 1971
 

Here's a link to a previous discussion on Ohio COPO dealers. Frost is included in the topic - https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showflat...=true#Post16337

This is some info on my car:

Vin: 647218 Body NOR 298357
TR 713 10B PNT
05C X11
Engine - T0512MN Trans - P9D19C Axle - BE 0512 G2
Other options: A01, D55, D80, N34, U17, U63, U80, Z22, VE3

It is currently at SCW for a resto and I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas (the attached pic is coming off the truck in Latrobe).

Mark B. gave me a lot of info about the car intially and hooked me up with the RG COPO owner. Somehow, Mark can ferret out these cars and has a lot of knowledge regarding local Midwest area COPOs.

With a big thanks to (Jeff S.) the owner of the RG Frost COPO who supplied me with the info, I have been fortunate enough to talk with the original owner of my car. He still lives in Mechanicsburg. His brother bought the aforementioned RG COPO. The son of the owner of Frost Chevrolet, as the story goes, was into Hi-Po cars (primarily 'Vettes) and was the guiding force behind getting these COPO cars ordered for the dealership. When he bought the black one around late August/early September '69, he recalled there being 4 COPO's on the lot black, rally green (soon to be bro's), dark blue and another dark color (possibly green). He owned my car about 6 months and traded it back to Frost for a '70 Nova. He then thinks the car may have gone to Marysville, OH off the used lot, but is not sure. Dave A., who owned the car previously to me, bought it off a used car lot in Springfield, OH in March of '75. So, it had been in the "area" all of its life.

The burnished brown Frost COPO (I'm familiar with) was built 09A and is an RS w/similar options. It was for sale a couple(?) of years back. I don't know who owns it now. I am currently under the impression that there may have been more than 5 COPOs at the Frost dealership.
