Jim Lammers didn't know he was buying a COPO or an ex-drag car when he purchased a black 1969 Camaro from a previous coworker in 2018. He would later discover that the car was truly a COPO Camaro with a 427 big block, but his favorite discoveries involved the Davis family, who were the second owners of the car back in 1970. Doug Davis turned the car into an NHRA-legal Super Stock drag car, and raced it for several years. The car then bounced around to many owners, eventually landing with Jim Lammers, who truly appreciated its drag racing history.

Jim tracked down all the history, and restored the car to its original condition. He took it to one show in original condition and then turned his high dollar COPO into a drag car to replicate the early '70s "Rat's Nest" configuration that Doug Davis raced.
