Bill, I wish I had an exciting racing story to tell about blowing the motor but... I bought the car in late Jan 1972 and most of Feb it was cold and snowing. So one sunny day in March I went out for a drive to see how it would perform. I was driving along at about 80 mph and the pickup fell out of the oil pump.
As for the picture, it was taken in July 1973 you can just see the side of the car. If you look closely you can see a Bass 48 speaker on the rear shelf as I had a Lear Jet 8-track in it. Deep Purple's Machine Head was played many times on it.

I know you guys know this car as one the "the twins", but actually it is one of "the triplets"!

Peter, are you refering to your car which has the same shipping date as the twins? Do you have shipping dates on the other Central Chevelle or the other Canadian Orange Chevelle?

Andy,
Interesting story thanks for sharing. What engine did you replace the L72 with and do you have any more stories from the day about the COPO?

Andy.... Those Bass48 speakers were the best sounding . I would even bring them in the House and use em.
