Many don't know that Ben bought a new COPO car from Berger in June 1969. There were 23 of them on the lot at that time. He wanted the cheapest one!

Ben Wenzel's COPO today... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/show...e/0#Post372461

Looks much better than it did. Ben's car did not have spoilers or the stripe. There were 23 copos on the lot when he bought his. I have photos of this car from 1969, I'll have to dig them out. Indy 1969 or 1970.

Some copo experts said this car wasn't a copo because of the body number, etc.

Ken,

Did Al Pfeiffer also have a Black Anglia at one time? Maybe not Black, (Dark Blue?) but I recall seeing him run at Indy at least one year. I used to letter race cars and the lettering style on his car caught my eye. I probably have a picture of it SOMEWHERE.
