Default COPO Camaro - before & after pictures

I was searching through my old files over the weekend & ran across the pictures below. It is a car that I owned in the early 90s. It was a race car from Michigan - some of you may recognize it. I know that many will say - you should have left it "as found"!

Also, it's a Berger car with POP. I did add the Berger stripes later.

The 90's were a different time and doubt if too many people would have restored a car like that back as a race car or left it unrestored. Today things are very different. It looks great now for sure.

It reminds me of the one owner gold Berger Copo that had the crazy multi color paint job. I wish I still had pics of that car. Does anyone have pics of that car before it was restored to red and then the original gold?

I'm all for preserving a car's history, but even I think you made the right choice. Looks GREAT!

What do the Berger stripes look like?
