I know of another QC COPO that is still hanging out in the 2nd owner's garage where it's been since '70 or '71.

It would be great if these 3 consecutive body number cars and Tin Soldier could be together at the Super Car Reunion..there will be magazine coverage there. I know Jason has a family reunion that same weekend.

Queen City story
Back in the late 90’s I was at my cousins house in Batavia and his friend stopped by to visit. We started talking about the cars we owned back in the 70’s and this guy told a story about Queen City.
One Saturday morning in 1969 his girlfriend called and asked if he’d go to Queen City and help her pick out a new Camaro. Her dad was buying her a new car for graduation present. As they talked to the salesman he spotted these 8 or 10 stripped down plain Camaros with bubble hoods. He asked the salesman about those cars and he said you don’t need one of those they are factory built race cars with the big motors in them. He said they were different colors and a few had automatic transmissions. All of them had painted wheels and little round hub caps. His girlfriend bought a 350 car and drove it for many years around Clermont County. Ohio has always been a hotbed for muscle cars and I’m sure there’s still Copo cars sitting in garages untouched for many years. Best regards, Richard

Seeing that ad from QC Chevrolet and the discovery of 3 with consecutive order/ trim tag no.'s makes me wonder. Is it possible QC ordered a batch of 10 COPO's, and that there are 10 out there that are numbered consecutively, 3 of which have now been discovered?
