Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the nice comments. Jim and I had fun writing this article together. He pitched the idea to Hemmings and they liked it. It was last year, about this time, he was going to submit photos to Hemmings of his "long lost COPO", when I called him. He may have even already submitted a photo or two, just before the call. He was immediately interested checking out the car and sharing his photos and stories. We share emails on a regular basis. We were lucky enough to get advanced issues, even before Damien and Ryan, so we decided to meet for lunch and open them together last Monday (my wife provided the countdown to envelope opening). We both agree that Hemmings exceeded our expectations by about 200% with the story and layout.

If I could find the two "lost owners" mentioned in the article, I'm sure the car's story will get more interesting.

Ryan, thanks for posting the story here.

Phil Woj.
