Re: Copo for sale!!!
 
Andy, I was wondering why someone would say they can add a X-33 (Z/28) Trim to a COPO car as well. For better understanding of the "X" codes heres a link to CRG's site.

Andy,
The gold Copo for sale is a base Copo not a 9737 optioned car; 14" wheels, M22, no radio, X44, March built car. It is the only base Copo ordered by Berger that has surfaced. The original owner Ben Wenzel called Berger in July '69 and wanted the cheapest Copo they had. Berger had 27 Copo Camaros on the lot at that time. This car had been ordered by Dick Ahrons/ Wally Booth for racing purposes but didn't come in in time so they built a 396 car instead. Ben said the car was never competative so he parked it with 50 or so miles on the disconnected odometer. The day 2 pictures were on this site a few years ago, red/orange stripes painted down the sides and top. It would have been nice if the car was kept day 2.

Sounds like the same car in the thread below...

I know there are pictures of that car on this site somewhere, and I can see the car in my head, but I have yet to find anything other than that thread on here...someone help me out...

The link to Hemmings says they want $180K. It was only $170 before BJ. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif
If someone offered me $95K for my incorrect, incomplete and no paperwork COPO, I would have to think about it. The grin factor is huge. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif
I would love to see what kind of "new" documentation would be discovered after the sale. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

If this was Ben Wenzel's car, that is pretty good proof of what it is. He is still racing his '67Z28, and has been for 34 years. He is only a phone call away. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

The original owner did have the protect-o-plate and dealer invoice from Berger. Ed Cuneen told me it was the first Berger invoice he has seen. The car is real. Its just a shame it was painted red. I think the spoilers were also added. Where are those old shots on this website that showed it "as found" at Wenzel's house??? I'd like to see those pictures again. It was priced at $ 75,000, huge money it seemed at the time.

Re: Copo for sale!!!
 
My apologies if I sounded like I didn't beleive it was a real car. It is, and the history speaks for itself. However, as I told Jeff, I pray every day for stupid money. If I really wanted to sell my car, I know enough guys that want it, and the selling price would be fair, but if someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse, goodby COPO! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

As a lifelong car guy, there are things that I understand, and things that I don't. Why people offer cars at prices that are beyond beleif I can understand. Why people pay those prices is what I want to know. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
