Re: COPO fleet colors?

There was a guy up the street from me when I was growing up that had a 396 purple truck. I knew of a few other purple ones at the time.

Re: COPO fleet colors?

To add on to the camouflage pattern, it was very specific as tested by the government to best conceal the vehicle/personnel. It's actually a large operation to test, retest, and alter the patterns.

Re: COPO fleet colors?

I know of a factory Purple and White 72 C10 BB that is parked in a back yard 5 minutes form my home. I stopped and talked with the owner one day and its been in his family since new. Its a little rough and the BB is gone and he claims he is going to restore it one day. I asked and he doesn't want to sell. I should go back and se if I can get him too let me take a pic of the spid if its still there. Now I have an original factory Purple with white roof 70 CST Longhorn that shows special paint on the spid. Sorry for the bad pics but I haven't taken any good ones of it yet. For some reason I can only up load 2 pics ,I'll try to and more i the box below.

I bought a Pontiac 2+2 from a guy in Regina with a purple 396 truck that he ultimately killed someone with in a drunk driving accident. Neil D.
