Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
 

People, do your research. You need to on this type of car. Info IS on the trim tag. Im not talking about the exterior color or X code. My opinion is based on the extensive research i have on the 05 (MAY of 69) 1969 Camaros. There is a noticible difference between the RPO and COPO in May of 69. Just tring to be helpful.

Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
 

Just a silly question here...and not trying to be funny (I know, hard to believe https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif) but if the car is sold, why is the ebay auction still running? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
 

cars, i hope the new owner enjoys there COPO. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
 

im with ya, why is the car still on ebay if its sold ?

Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
 

The heater core cover may or may not have been off but I can tell you from experience that because the firewall was "blacked out" before the cover was installed the finishes were totally different.
The firewall ended up a random sprayed almost flat black or dry sprayed black that was just to cover up the chalk markings and overspray. Being dry sprayed or flat the paint held the grime and grease more than the heater box cover.
The heater box cover was the GM reconditioning black color..60 deg gloss. Which was painted by dipping so the finish was extremely smooth. So with minor and I stress minor cleaning of the engine compartment there could be a large difference in the finishes on these two parts.

Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
 

That box has been painted.For me,I would rather see the car as found.I don't know why guys like this jerk the 3 point and paint the heater box.It raises suspicion.

You have no reason to lie but you sure had no problem calling one of our members Julian Johnson a liar when he showed up with the original engine for the last COPO you sold. Did you not tell potential buyers of the last COPO you sold that the motor Julian had was a restamp when in reality it was you who had the restamped motor?

Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
 

Hylton...I don't remember anything in that old thread that proved or anyone claimed he stamped the engine in the car he was selling. He claimed it was in the car when he got it. Try to keep this stuff straight.

Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
 

I never said that it was he who stamped the engine. My comment was in regards to which engine was the original one.

Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
 

You are right...Even I am screwing this stuff up.

Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
 

Its me again, as to why the car is still on E-bay, can you wait for me to get home from work so I can end the auction, everyone is so quick to jump the gun. As to the heater box I never painted it that was the way it was when I got it, he put a new heater core in the car, why he raced it with a heater core I do not know but he did. all I did was take the 502 motor out of the car , and the racing trans, and some other racing stuff. I never painted anything, I have been real lucky to have found two COPO cars, And the person to buy the orange one is very happy, and the new buyer of the black one is very happy also, and I guess that is all that matters

I have a black COPO that was sold new at Frost. The dealership changed hands several years back and is now Dave Kehl Chevrolet. I am interested in who you talked to that remembered the car you are selling, as I called Kehl and I could obtain no info or knowledge about my paricular COPO nor did they have any of the old sales records. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
 

Wanted to buy - X11, V8, 4 speed '69 Camaro that requires restoration. Preferably old race car without original drivetrain....... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Bonus money if you can prove car's original drivetrain, documentation and owner cannot be found.

Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
 

Not for nothing , don't you guys have a list of vin numbers some place that indicates if it was a COPO ? I had a guy who called me one day and asked if the run number was inbetween the numbers on a X 11 car i had he gave me ( i forget now what they where ) . but i'm sure that information is on the net some place .

Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
 

The lists of Vin's are not complete. They only serve as a starting point if a suspect cars vin is not on the list.

Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
 

Cool car, too bad the auction was ended early.

Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
 

So does the happy owner of the Orange car know it has a restamped engine yet?

Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
 

Yes.
He knew it was a restamp when he bought the car.

I think the car is supposed to be finished by the end of this month.

That's good to know. Did the new owner have any interest in buying the original motor for the car?

Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
 

Jeff,
The first time Chris called me, he stated that he was not interested in buying the engine.
He only wanted vehicle history on the car.

Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
 

What a shame if you can't reunite an original COPO car with its original motor. Hopefully it will be reunited some day.

Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
 

I would have loved to have paid too much for my original engine, but someone else was willing to pay Eric way past too much. I guess the assembly code worked for his COPO and he really didn't care about reuniting my car and my engine. I even offered to sell the car to the new owner of my original engine just to get them back together again, but he was not interested.

I was also able to talk to someone who knew quite alot about the black car. Interesting stories!

Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
 

Does anyone know where the matching car to this engine is?
