Charlie owned it before is was restored by Level One in Colorado. Phil M. had it at MCACN in 2016. There are 7 Matador Red with black vinyl top RS/SS cars that I know of and all of them are 06C cars. I have the body numbers for 4 of these cars and they are all within 10 body numbers of each other. There are some missing YS numbers in the range of these cars as well so there may still be 3 of these Matador Red cars out there.
Add 06C
Body number 160145

It’s a real car
Also a Magic Mirror trim tag as it should be

#138 This is Kevin DeWitte's original owner Berger COPO car. I believe there were roughly 40 iron block COPO's delivered to Berger along with 1 ZL-1. There were 20 02D cars including the ZL-1 along with 10 05C cars and 11 05D cars. They were all 9737 cars as well with the exception of the Ben Wenzell race car. That was a bare bones X44 car with no spoilers or radio. The rest of the Berger cars that I know of were X11 cars. A number of them also had Endura bumpers and some were RS cars as well. This is N647846 and an 05C car. It was featured in the June '87 issue of Car Craft when Carl Dwiggins owned it, the December '92 issue of Musclecar Review when Milt Robson owned it and the August '10 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines when it was back with Kevin. I believe it still has it's original engine and has around 45K miles on it.

Yes, Bill Porterfield owned ZL-1 #3 back in the late '80's early 90's. It is a mostly original car but last I knew didn't have it's original engine. I believe it does have it's original transmission and rearend. It has about 70% of it's original paint. I believe when Bill bought it there was a black stripe painted down the middle of the car that he had removed. This is the third ZL-1 built, but it's body number is over 10K prior to the Gibb ZL-1's.

The "birthday" (The day he bought it) of Kevin's COPO is I believe today...He used to bring it out to Pavilions on it's birthday
It's also Kevin's birthday today!

#139 This 69 Camaro RS COPO is Charlie's Texas Field Find that was restored by Level One. Phil M. had it at MCACN in '16. This is N689037 and was sold new at Chas Carter Chevrolet in Bonham TX. There is another COPO from the same dealer one body number after this one. I believe there was a POP found with this car as well.
