Based on that picture it looks like all the COPO owners have the wrong chin spoiler on their cars..

Production piece was dealer installed. The official race version was bigger and not streetable for obvious reasons.

BTW... I have seen pictures of 4X4 converted camaros, now one with a snow plow would be a real hoot....

Hey Phil,

I have been doing some history stuff and have and found (im pretty sure) the owners of my car back to 1983 so far I have actually talked to the 1983 owner and he thinks he may have some photos of the car, what a trip BTW he is the guy who painted the wheels black. He was real exited to here from me and commented that the photos I sent him (to include the license plate frame and aftermarket air cleaner,valve covers)looked identical to what he remembered. From our conversation it looks like the car may have only accumulated 24000 miles in the last 21 years. What a trip

I still need to talk to the owner after him, I think I've located him.

Cool stuff

Hey thanks for the help on the Ruse stuff

you dont know how much I appreciate it.



I would like to see a camaro zamboni!!!!!!!!!

I was thinking about it but its kinda junky compaired to others. Its cool dont get me wrong but its not realy a survivor (oh no I said it) and its not a restore. If theres some interest and the thing is streetworthy I think it would be cool

I get ribbed about a 1/4 mile pass from time to time when I attend... Did you consider running the car down the strip?

If you guys go, I'll go. Besides, I still owe marlin that grudge match against his deuce!

Don't feel bad about the car not being perfect. You have time to bring it up to the standards that it deserves, and in the meantime you can have fun driving it.

Well to be honest with you I went out looking for a driver anyway. The copo thing was an added bonus. The car seems to run well but up here where I am you wouldnt want to drive your car until april so it has not been road tested yet.

I would run it, but depending on how it tests out would depend on how much heart was put into the pass

Very nice. Is that your home garage or a business? Looks big enough for a few more cars!
