Agreed, had this been an ebay or craigslist ad with contact info the seller would have had people that weren't in a position to buy telling him it's worth 500k just so noone would get a deal on it ,and people wanting the car would be telling him how it would be in a shrine if they bought it and how they weren't buying for resale in hopes that would sway the buyer....being the person that actually gets the car is tricky and usually it just ends up not getting sold because the seller is overwhelmed with all the attention and BS

Cool car..and a great find...my guess the value of $225k probably has A LOT to do with PGN. Looked at a '70 LS6 he inspected which at best is a $20-25k car..rough as a cobb and no paperwork.. he told the owner it is a $50k + car...needless to say the owner believes the "internet guru," and thinks he has a $50k car and won't listen to actual real world offers.

Sadly it makes buying stuff for realistic value hard when an "internet" guru over values...and then has no intention of paying said value...I often see the same thing in US/German WW2 weapons...some "guru" says a piece is worth "X" but never actually produces "X" to buy the item...just muddies the water for the actual legit potential buyers.
was that the black one with white stripes? I saw it on ebay for 50K and thought that was a bit of a stretch

yes that is the one...car is real...but also missing a lot of dated stuff and needing a lot of body work...plus no docs...had a BS, but sadly sheet was destroyed by water and being left on the car..nothing left..

So did this car ever sell or did the one person still have it? By the looks of the video compared to the older photos that the same guy owns it? Car looks great.

We may never find out, Darrell. You can bet that anyone who posted here 3 yrs ago with supposed direct knowledge of the black COPO Chevelle will not be posting any updates about it.

COPO Chevelle
 
I was planning on doing a write up in the Member’s Ride forum to share an update, history as I know it and some photos. Please be patient as I am still gathering some additional information. I’ve made friends with 2 people that knew the original owner and his brother very well. They’ve shared some great insight on the brothers and potentially a vintage photo might surface soon too.
The posted video was taken by the previous owner in June of 2020. I purchased the car in July of 2020. Stay tuned!
Thanks,
Marty
