COPO with a stick ?

FGaspare · 05-28-2013, 07:55 AM

Anybody hear about GM building some COPO cars with a stick ? maybe 50 or so.

The Massingill's at The School of Automotive Machinists are getting one. They already run a 2012 in stock.

add $11,000 to the base price of the engine / model you choose...

no credit for leaving the Powerglide behind

Perhaps the folks in Milford can dig deep and find, in someone’s barn, the original 3-speed crashbox out of the Monster Mash 55 Chevy Stocker?

I mean…all the other COPO vehicles have that 50+ year old Powerglide in them.

By the way, General Motors, if you wish to know how to make a crashbox out of those ancient transmissions, there are still folks out there that know how.

A little harsh -- don't you think ? ? ?

I'll bet they got a pretty good handle on it. I went 9.70's at 141 with a stock 6 speed untouched in my camaro at 3451 pounds and never broke it! These copos can probably run 8's n/a in good air. I'll bet the stick will absolutley fly!!!

I'm betting there will be Liberty's in those cars.

TOSTO RACING · 05-28-2013, 09:59 PM

Thats what I was thinking too. It'll be an awesome car!

You might lose that bet as I believe that the stick Copo cars are coming through with G Force transmissions.
