Default 1969 double COPO resto underway .....

Some of you may remember this double COPO. It is an original body, original motor and BE axle, very low mileage car that was painted black and had black hounds tooth interior installed in the '70s. The car had been set up for racing so had other modifications as well. After years of waffling back and forth about returning it to it's original Frost Lime exterior and dark green vinyl interior I decided to take the plunge so it is currently undergoing a nut and bolt, concourse restoration. Here is a picture of the car before restoration started and a couple of pics as it's being taken apart. I'll post progress pics as they become available if anyone is interested.

I don't know that I have seen another frost lime cowl induction endura bumper D80 car. With style trim it should look really slick with the frost paint, very much a sleeper.

That's way cool! I was just looking through some old magazines recently and came across that feature. I wondered what happened to that car since I've never seen a Frost Green COPO Camaro. It should look awesome when it's done. Definitely post some pictures.
