Re: COPO on Ebay
 

At the end of the restoration you have approx. $150K into the car and a paper from JM that says its a COPO.

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

If you have the money and you want a COPO you spend 150,000.and a lot a lot of work by that person
I bet that 150 is minimum you need to spend on the car If you restore it to its former glory.

You have to buy what makes YOU happy. Burnished Brown is not a preferred color for most collectors & difficult to sell. I love the color, but would probably pass on a purchase & resto if I were going to flip it to make $$. The RS option makes this one special & I wish I'd had the $$ to bid on it. Can't wait to see it when it's done https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Whatever you think parts and labor will be, add 25k.

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

I promise who ever bought that car will spend a grand total of 200K to do the car and do it correct, in that amount the purchase price of the car is included, sit down and do the math on the car and it adds up very quickly. Parts for the COPO cars are not cheap ie. motor, trans, rear, almost entire sheet metal, paint,original interior, X-11 goodies, radiator, minimum of 1,000 hours to do the car @ $50 per hour. Believe me when I say I have sat down and ran a complete list of parts to do a car. With that car you are doing a restoration around a trim tag. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

Is anyone familiar with who that buyer is?
Curious with an ID name like Bergerbuy,maybe he knows something we don't..

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

These days I see nothing wrong with a less than concourse restoration if it's for your enjoyment. Personally, I won't ever hunt the rare/expensive stuff to make 'em numbers correct again.
I think the new owner could spend another 80K or so & be very proud of this COPO when all's said & done. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

would bet its a Candian sold car since all the records I have only the Candian sold ones have that 650xxx as a VIN with this one being 650030

2 R/Green
1 D/Yellow
and the other 3 are unkown colors

Re: COPO on Ebay
