Unique moment in Sweden
 

As you know COPO_Anders has one of two 69 COPO 9561 Camaros over here. The other one is owned by Mikael Norgren. Over the weekend the Camaro Club Sweden celebrated its 25th anniversary with a meeting on a fairground that has a 6000 ft runway among other facilities. Of course we arranged dragracing and Anders raced his car and ended up in the final only to be runner-up to a very potent 1987 Camaro.

But the unique moment was that we had a matchrace between TWO!! 1969 COPO Camaros. Our other one turned up surprisingly to the event and we just had to do a dragrace between them.

For sure a very special moment for us who like the first generation Camaros.

Here is a picture of the race:

Mikael got his car running a couple of weeks ago after having the engine rebuilt (457 hp on the dyno) and the car painted. That made him a little too cautious, so I could cross the finishline first. His wife couldn´t believe him racing the car there and then, and she actually asked me what I told him to make him do it. I told him it would be an easy win ! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Mikael´s car is real nice. Village Chevrolet sold the car to a Mr William Harvey in N.Y. After coming to Sweden, in 1975 I think, it has only had two owners. It is like mine, a born-with-drivetrain car. It´s got an M-22 with console and instrumentation, endura-bumper and some other options aswell.

Great showing Mikael !
