November 2009 Feature Car

[Berger RS Copo]

Great story, stunning car, Grady! When a car like this is found in such original condition, I am always amazed. It seems only a tiny percent of them were left this way. You said you found it only three miles away, had you ever seen the car before?

------I first saw Gradys COPO at Quaker City at the "Supercar Showdown" (circa 92/93 ?). I was there with Red Alert, but pretty much forgot what I was there for that weekend because all I could think of was Gradys 69. My favorite color combo on my favorite Chevelle year. Could it get any better??? ........Bill S

Bill, I remember that weekend well. I had actually driven the car to that event. I was also in envy of your car and what you were doing with it. Made a quite an impression on me.

Only if the General had've built Copo Chevelles as PST cars!.

Could you imagine a scenario in late-1969 where you would go new car shopping at your local Chevrolet dealership for a Big Block Chevelle and see on the lot this left-over 1969 COPO 427 Chevelle while new 1970 LS-6 454 Chevelles are coming in on new car transporters? Now bear in mind, you probably wouldn't realize how rare and valuble the '69 COPO would be back then 'til much later in life. My gosh, that really would have been a tough decision! If similarly priced, I don't know which one I would have picked!

Dana, Yes I had seen the car once before in the early 80's I believe. At that time did not pay much attention. It was parked in a hotel parking lot at a car event in Strongsville Ohio. Car was not part of the event, just driven to the show and parked in regular parking. I confirmed this with one of the previous owners years later who told me in fact he had driven the car there.
