mr terrell would have a lot of information of what was left on queen city lot with that late july build tag on the tin soldier. My guess he would have to order that car.

Yesterday, I helped my buddy get his COPO running. It needs a few things repaired, like a leaky fuel line and ignition switch wiring not working correctly. Regardless, I had the car running and it is wicked. A few cool modifications are shaft mounted rockers, crank triggered ignition using MSD 7al-2 & jesel belt drive (not a stupid gear drive), and a Hamburger oil pan.

Great update and keep 'em coming also more pics please!
The hood's not the original is it also when was the car last @ the track?
Hard to beat that rear view w/ no D80!
So where are we at w/ a total of known existing Queen City 9561 L72 Copos?
