The car is currently at Big Creek Restoration in Ellis, Ks. I am the one who posted the pic of the red COPO on FB and have posted about it here as well. It is not my car but I am doing the restoration. The car was shipped to Mac's in Crete, Nebraska and sold new in Lincoln, NE to a spray plane pilot who later took it to his native Colorado. He owned the car for about a year and a half before trading it at a Ford dealership in Littleton, CO on a new Torino. From there it was passed down between 3 brothers in the La Hunta, Colorado area when the latter brother sideswiped a tree. The car was then put in a small shed until it was purchased in or around 1985 by a Chevy dealership owner/drag racer in Kansas who planned on fixing the damage and racing it but never got around to it. The car has 29,xxx actual miles and is very original other than the starter, water pump, heater hoses , spark plugs and wires. It even had it's original exhaust.
