'Many' COPO cars?

There were 1,066 COPO Camaros built. 3 are known to have V75.

I know of 2 from Canada myself, plus Bergy's, and was told there were quite a few others?

I guess many was a bad choice on wording.

We have build data on just under 500 COPOs so there could easily be a few more with V75.

Including yours, 4 Z/28s.

Enjoying your build progress!

No worries, thought I'd mention it as it's absence is a giveaway the trunk floor has been replaced. The protruding part of that bracket was cut off my car when it became a race car, probably for the same reason - to avoid being a hazard to heads.....

I think it looks better w/o that hanger. Aside from looks, I'm not concerned about it calling any attention to the trunk floor having been replaced. I've hit my head on those hangers more than once and on this one, I won't have to worry about landing another divet on the back of my noggin. (lol)

Bodywork is advancing on the front end sheet metal while the interior continues to roll along. The covers for the front buckets were finished last weekend and this week the upholsterer has completed the rear covers. He still needs to make the buttons for the seatbacks and is now covering the rear side panels. Should be ready to wrap the seat frames in a few days from now. In other news, a sample of the vinyl was sent to Al Knoch and they are now fabricating a set of door panels to match the color.

And the hits keep on rollin' baby. The subframe and differential are back under the car and it's now back on the ground.

Other progress that was happening at the upholstery shop today. Mike has been doing an unbelievable job with the seat patterns and the installation of the new covers. It's really coming together here.
