Gump -They are very small but I managed to get out ..........and not very graceful .

Mack - The Victory Red is a sharp color for sure -- but I've never been a plain vanilla kind of guy - so , yes -- it'll be "plenty loud" after a trip to Ryan Koreks' paint booth .


Hemi Moose - Got a bunch of signatures on the inside of my trunk deck - including mine .

Larry - All COPO's come with Hoosier tires - not sure what's up with letter / no letter deal .

Danny - I'm gonna string a clothes line across the back for t-shirts .

It is keeping me on my diet!

I was told that they removed the white because it stood out too much and turned the cars into a billboard for Hoosier. They didnt want anything to take away from the whole COPO deal. You cant blame them for that.

Might be because they have shipped so many cars lately. I think that its a cool piece of history. In years to come collectors will be arguing over what is correct!

Well , here's the thing - I can't believe I didn't notice - my car is "half & half " - the rears are white letter and the fronts are blackwall ...........like I said - leftovers ! ! ! Guess I spent way too much time standing next to the car posing and not enough time looking .........hmmmmmmm - does that mean I have a " one of one car ? " .Who cares anyway - my heirs will love talking it up .Me ? I'm gonna use it while I can still crawl in and buckle up ............

Yes I seen that Jack...so what are your plans for the new Chieftain paint scheme on the Copo Camaro, or are you going back to the Jumping Jack Flash theme, curious were these names a Pontiac & Chevy thing.
