Love those vintage photos!!!

Why oh why couldn't someone just happen to post some vintage photos of my car like that...

Did anyone happen to hang out with a guy that had a white COPO Chevelle with red guts and a black vinyl top???

Back in the '80s, very few even knew what a COPO Chevelle was. At the Barrie Flea market, I had people give me the "Yeah right" look when talking about having a COPO Chevelle. I doubt that people were building COPO clones in that era. Sounds like a very interesting car to me.

Isnt the rear mount antena supposed to be on the other side or did they come both ways

When I put a radio in our Chevelle, I put the antenna on the driver's side. Village idiots had a tendency to break off aerials as they walked down the street. I reasoned that they might just be too lazy to walk around the car. Worked for me.

I don't know if the antenna is on the correct side, it was always on that side. like that when he got the car from what I remember.

This car was a factory Copo 427/425hp car bought new from Belmont Chev/Olds by a buddy of mine. He would come to HARVEYS at Jane and the 401 during the week and park in the third slot on the north side. This car was unique as it had no SS markings or stripes. The cragars were put on when new and Hooker Headers. This car was never raced or abused and The word "COPO" was never used. This car was very fast and a true "SLEEPER" for its time. Vince the original owner worked for a meat packing company. Car was sold around '75-'77 to a kid named Joe that lived near the Famous HARVEYS.

Here is a CRUISERS Badge from the Musclecar Era

That is good to here, when I new the car the term "COPO" was not used as well. back then I did not know anything about it. I was aware of Yenko Chevelles but did not know exactly what that meant. for the most part I do now.

Obviously I will not know for sure until I catch up with our friend. it sucks not knowing

thanks again for your time.
