Pete,
It could have turned out worse. Especially considering the lack of any form of support from the authorities. I know you had to pay a considerable amount to get your own car back but really your outcome seems like probably the best case scenario considering the other possible outcomes. It sucks when bad things happen to good people. But, keep in mind it's only a car, a special car, but just a car. I can relate, I've had a car stolen in the past and believe me it had a much worse outcome. It wasn't quite the caliber of this car but keep in mind it could have been worse.

Hang in there Pete. For what it's worth your 'COPO Shootout' MCR article was a huge inspiration to me back when I was just a student dreaming about COPO Chevelles....

Well, got the ol girl fired up and it actually moves itself. Took about two lbs in rust outta the exhaust pipes. Took it for a drive, but it is far from a power tune! Carb needs some serious work! Taking it to the track Thursday to play. Thanks for all your encouragement!

Great to hear the beast is once again seeing the light of day.

I know I can't offer the thrill of blasting her down the track, but I am sure there is a spot for you along with the sYc family at the upcoming MCACN show November 20-21.

I can also hold an indoor spot for your trailer.
