A special thanks and shout-out to mrays for taking the time to locate the photos he took of the car in 2011 when it sold at auction in Indiana. He also recalled seeing the car in a Letter to the Editor in the February 1985 issue of Super Chevy Magazine and very kindly located and sent me photos of the pages. The Letter to the Editor was written by the original owner, Tom Hurst, and included a photo of the car in 1985 and some very helpful history about the car not being registered since 1973, for about 12 years, and only having 21,000 miles on the odometer. This helps validate the current odometer reading of just over 21,600 miles, and explains the original drivetrain, and why the body is rust free and the interior is nearly perfect but for the dash pad. Hurst also stated he took delivery of the car on September 29, 1969, which matches the POP, Warranty Booklet, and Gorries-Golden Mile Dealer Folder.
If anyone has any additional information about this Canadian COPO, I'd very much appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks again to all that helped me.
