He said they sold many hi perf cars to Vietnam Vets as they returned home with money in the bank. The original salesman who sold my COPO is still around, but I’ve been hesitant to contact him for reasons I can’t say on a public forum. The salesman’s name for my car was on the protectoplate. Other Lyle POPs have also had the salesman’s names just below the address of the buyer. It also had the date of sale next to the salesman’s name. My COPO was sold 5 days after being produced in Baltimore (NCRS and POP data).

Feel free to PM me with your contact info if you’d like more info on Lyle. Most of what I know about the dealership is from locals and my original owner. I’d like to know who sold your car. A friend knows about 4 Lyle salesman from that era.
