----Woj,,, Were these buildings where the Arfon's junkyard was? I went by there when I was a kid several times, but the memories are almost gone, LOL! In any event, glad you had that time with them......Bill S

Super stuff Woj. Great photos. Great story. Great get-together!!!

My wife is good friend of Art's granddaughter. Her father was killed racing flat bottom boat.

I remember when Ken bought the block from a machine shop, and then got a hit with Oh dmv. I think the owner of the Copo lived by the Canton airport (over 25 yrs ago). Protectoplate too. Last time I saw the car, was in a tight room in the basement of Ken's house. Good car.

That's just awesome, Phil! Now get down here and see the Molnar Ranch before I come up there for the Chevelle Show next month and drag you guys down here!

Looking forward to seeing that beauty again! Are you sure you want a Mopar guy driving one of those Chebelle thingies??:3gears:

Cheers
Dave

Great story and history of your car Phil. Wish I had that on mine..

I'm very lucky to have found the complete ownership history of this car. The best leads came from bringing the car to two car shows in a matter of a few weeks. The amazement of the folks seeing this car after decades of not knowing what happened to it has been priceless.

Dave, you maybe become a Chevy convert after driving one of these. We will see.

I got a text this morning from Jim, the original owner of my COPO. He told me it was 5 years ago today that I called him to see if he was the original owner of the car I was caring for. He had been wondering for 44 + years as to the whereabouts of his old love. His text to me was, "Five years ago today, I found a new friend and an old friend". We've been great friends since.

I just wanted to give a shout out to Jim for being such a great enthusiast and participant in the history of this car.

Oddly enough, I never realized the date of our first call, 4/27, until I saw a post from Al Galdi on FB today regarding these great numbers.

Cheers!

That’s awesome Phil! Really amazing he still loves that car. You’re a great caretaker of that machine!:burnout:

Cheers:beers:
