Belmont COPOs

[Keith Tedford]

I was in the Belmont Lower show room in the summer of '69, and I'm pretty sure the COPO Chevelle there was orange. The orange one that Beare Motors sold was brought in from a different dealer for the customer. I was told that this wasn't the car. I understand that the Beare car still exists in Alberta.

I remember a gold COPO Camaro.I can't remeber whether the interior was geen or matching gold.I have no idea what dealer it came from but I do remember seeing it for sale in a used car lot at Danforth and Warden.I also knew a guy with a dark green COPO Chevelle who ran it at the track often and it had a cage in it.I was in the basement of Belmont once and Dave Mackay started a L78 Chevelle up for me that had factory chambered pipes on it.Man.What a sound.

My buddy, who bought the orange COPO Chevelle from Beare's, had them install '69 Corvette side pipes on the car. He had enough of the noise after a month or so. The steady noise on the highway would drive even a young person insane after a while. Beare Motors sold a blue L88 Vette in '69. When I dropped in to the dealership, the salesman took me out back and fired the car up to let me hear it. What a sound.

Ken's car had an M22 and, like mine, I don't believe that it had a radio either. If that is really Ken's car I have pictures from the first day when Ken brought it home from the dealership brand spanking new. I rode in that car many times. Wouldn't mind getting in touch with the present owner.
