Default Re: December feature car ...... COPO PETE's Nova

Casey;
There has never been a documented LT1 COPO Nova found in the U.S. that was not a Yenko Deuce. I have chased several 'COPO' Novas, only to find out that they were lame attempts to duplicate Peter's car.

The two that went to Canada were actually from an initial order of 10 cars by Central (?, Pete). Apparently, GM of Canada has not uncovered an additional 8 cars on it's papework so Pete's car is one of two that went to Canada.

All Novas produced from '68 on were produced at Willow Run, Mich. inlcuding the COPO's. The COPO LT1 engines came from the Flint, Mich. assy plant not Tonawanda like some POP's are coded. The list of dealerships that received Yenko Deuce Novas is long, I will try to download my list but my new computer doesn't have a disc drive!
