While I'm a bow-tie guy @ heart, and the black COPO Chevelle was *stunning* and is the epitome of my favorite body style, it was simply gravy, considering I made the trip solely to see that many Cobras rumbling by, within inches of my pants legs. I'm normally a "more go, less show" type guy, but what a grouping of cars. My oh my, the things I'd do with one of those 427 cars...

Well worth the 8 hours up, hang out for a bit, then 8 hours home *road trip* with the old man...

This really only went for $50K? Wow. Was there anything wrong with it?

Did not think you could get a console auto in a 691/2 M Code.

The black COPO was formely Kevin DeWitte's that was featured in the most recent Super Car feature. It is an awesome COPO Chevelle!

Didn't I see a blue '66 (?) coronet Hemi, auto that seemed in treat shape go for around $50K? That car looked exactly like the first Hemi I ever saw. Only beautiful under the hood!

Hey! I would like to see some posts about what a great car and good deal the buyer got on Don's LS6. My name is Bob Krouse and I am the proud new owner of this wonderful Chevelle I can not tell you all what a thrill it was to buy a car like this at the auction (1st time) and drive it home. Although I am new to the supercar community, I spent the last two years restoring a 1972 Datsun 240Z. (that took 1st place for judged, first generation Zs and the People's Choice award at the 2008 Cleveland Rock Z show)
I wanted to let you know that the car has gone to a good home in Northern Indiana. Also, today, I am joining the Yenko Supercar Club and entering the car in the November Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals.
I look forward to meeting some of you and getting some good feedback about how to make Don's (now Bob's) LS6 even better.

Awesome and welcome to the site! I was just telling Don yesterday that it was a shame that he put all that blood, sweat and tears into that car and never got an opportunity to show it off. He spoke very highly of you and was very glad to hear the car performed flawlessly on it's maiden voyage (when you drove it home). Again, welcome to the site and looking forward to seeing you and the car at the show. Nice to see where these cars once again bring people together and create new friendships.
