Re: Super Car Trivia
Three of us bought COPO Chevelles through Beare Motors in Port Perry, Ontario. John and I still have our cars. I managed to keep my original drive train in tact. Might even have it on the road in another year.

Re: Super Car Trivia
This could be a disturbing post for some of those "used to be " original owners. When I was a kid, we had two workers that worked here for years. They saved there money and went out on the same day and bought a 1970 442 Cutlas convertable, and a 1969 440 Daytona. The one still has the rag top but the other in about'75 traded the Daytona on a Pinto
 , and yes, he had to pay difference!!! He just about has a stroke every time we talk about it.Peter

Re: Super Car Trivia
Kevin DeWitt (Arizona now, Minnesota prior) once again owns the white Berger COPO he bought new. As I remember, the car was in Milton Robson or Carl Dwiggins' collection for a while before Kevin was able to buy it back.
Pintos were hot during the gas crisis. I have an uncle who traded his original M-code 1969 440 Dart GTS (one of 600 or so) for a Pinto in '73/74. I think the Pinto was used, so he was able to trade straight up - lucky guy.
