----Woj,,, Were these buildings where the Arfon's junkyard was? I went by there when I was a kid several times, but the memories are almost gone, LOL! In any event, glad you had that time with them......Bill S

My wife is good friend of Art's granddaughter. Her father was killed racing flat bottom boat.

I remember when Ken bought the block from a machine shop, and then got a hit with Oh dmv. I think the owner of the Copo lived by the Canton airport (over 25 yrs ago). Protectoplate too. Last time I saw the car, was in a tight room in the basement of Ken's house. Good car.

That's just awesome, Phil! Now get down here and see the Molnar Ranch before I come up there for the Chevelle Show next month and drag you guys down here!

Looking forward to seeing that beauty again! Are you sure you want a Mopar guy driving one of those Chebelle thingies??

Cheers
Dave

I'm very lucky to have found the complete ownership history of this car. The best leads came from bringing the car to two car shows in a matter of a few weeks. The amazement of the folks seeing this car after decades of not knowing what happened to it has been priceless.

Dave, you maybe become a Chevy convert after driving one of these. We will see.

Phil

I got a text this morning from Jim, the original owner of my COPO. He told me it was 5 years ago today that I called him to see if he was the original owner of the car I was caring for. He had been wondering for 44 + years as to the whereabouts of his old love. His text to me was, "Five years ago today, I found a new friend and an old friend". We've been great friends since.

I just wanted to give a shout out to Jim for being such a great enthusiast and participant in the history of this car.

Oddly enough, I never realized the date of our first call, 4/27, until I saw a post from Al Galdi on FB today regarding these great numbers.

Cheers!
