Mine is number 6. It is scheduled for July/August pick-up. It will be raced!

Thanks for posting the links. I am stuck in Mexico for two weeks, so this has given me something to dream about.

Just noticed that my car is in one of the photos (on the lift). Pretty cool!

Rick Hendrick builds his own 327 for his COPO

Bet he didn't have to pay the extra $5,600.00 to build his own engine, like the real racers of these cars will have to do!

i knew that GM offers this personal build for ZR1, ZO6 and select crate engines. I did not know they offered this option to COPO owners.

It was a option and if you elected to buy all three engines there was a option to build all three at $5,600 each

Why would a person want to pay $5600. to assemble their engine? Sometimes I hear scary things.

When get your car better take engine out and make sure it meets Submited NHRA specs and that it is clean assembled correctly!
