Cedar Rapids COPO ?

[sYcYenko]

It would be awesome to have you come to the states to visit our SUPERCAR REUNION! I never know what I am going take to the show till about a couple nights before. Sometimes, I just grab what is closest to the door and trailer. I can always be enticed to bring something by request. Also, I am only 5 hours from St. Louis.

Take care.

This a pic taken 1986 in Ed Slagers garage in Cedar Rapids of the ZL-1 block that my friend Dick Stagmo bought from Red Dralle in Waterloo,Iowa. I hoped to find my notes of the numbers on the block, but no I didn´t find them.

Are you sure you don't mean Ed Sanger's garage? Or, as he was known in the Iowa dirt tracks....Fast Eddie? Was that ZL1 block one of the 69 or an over the counter?

[COPO_Anders]

No Phil, his name was Slager. He worked as a butcher.
The way I remember it the block was decked but had a partial VIN. I know I made a note of every stamp and number on that block, but I can´t find it today.

Have you tried to find Ed Slager? I can see if some of my nova people up there can find him if you want.

Love those old nut hugger shorts from back in the day

Ed helped us finding an apartment and let us use his garage to gather the original hiperf stuff we bought. But he wasn´t really interested in it, that´s how I remember it.
Ed, Becky and their son Aaron lived on 1819 Washington Ave SE. I´d be glad to get in touch with them again.
That´s their black car in the background. A Monte Carlo Aero coupe ? Don´t remember more than that Ed talked about the rearwindow and Nascar. Was it special ?

[Schonyenko2]

I'll see if I can dig him up. Yes on the monte. The rear window was special. It was more areodynamic for nascar racing.
