I'm only 20 minutes from Greencastle, never heard of car. That would be a nice car completed. I would go see about car but there is no contact info and it looks as though he is posting everyones contact information for the world to see, with no real response as how to get in touch with them.

Wonder why the floor boards are that blue color?

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

I believe there was a discussion a month or so back on TC... the car appears to be legit and based on what I saw and read + JM's cert... I would have NO PROBLEM buying it. A RS/COPO in Burnished Brown would be Killer... I don't think I have ever even seen a BB RS... If it turns out to be a 9737 car as well then all the better.
Probably cost 70k to send it to a shop and have it done... base your number accordingly...

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

Owner of the COPO claims the rear end is original and original gear ratio is 3:31

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

That would be a first https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

BB RS meaning Burnished Brown... not BBC (?)

Just my thoughts.

Yes the owner says the rear is a BT which would be a 3:55, not a 3:31 as I posted earlier.

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

Burnished Brown is what I meant... thanks Mike... that car is BA...

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

Car is at $40,000.....how much further can it go?

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

Aren't there only 6-7 RS copo's known to exhist? This is probably the only B Brown one so that makes it exceptionally rare. It wouldn't surprise me if it hit 60K...another 80 to restore it & you're still under 150

There is at least one other documented Burnished Brown COPO RS Camaro sold out of Frost Chevy, in Mechanicsburg Ohio.

COULD GO AS MUCH 55G'S THEN SPEND ANOTHER 55G'S AND HOLD ON TO IT FOR A FEW YEARS THEN GET YOUR MONEY BACK AT @175G'S https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

55g'S THEN ANOTHER 55g'S IF YOU HAVE CONNECTIONS, THEN WAIT A FEW YEARS AND YOU HAVE A 175g PRICE TAG AND EVERYONE WANTING IT!

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

The trans was for sale a couple of years ago in OH. I put him on the trail of it, but looks like he hasn't got it yet.

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

SOLD ! $46269.69, I would say that was well bought. Was it a member here? THAT CAR WILL BE KILLER!

Whoever bought it probably has a lead on the block to justify paying that kind of money.

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

It had a 50k buy it now this afternoon... but I figure a RS/COPO with the possibility of being a 9737 as well... it was well bought! The car will be killer and for right at 100k done... when was the last time you saw a professionally restored COPO for 100k?

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

Don't think there is any way that car could be "done" for $100K including the purchase price unless the new owner does quite a lot of work himself and/or has some really talented and generous friends. Correct original parts alone will be very pricey for that car. For example, a correct MN engine, dated trans and BE rear all re-done/rebuilt would likely be a minimum of $25K. 837 alt, 499 dist, 4346 carb, another $3-$4K, and on and on. I think parts only would run at least $50K for this car. With a pro #1 resto, I bet it will be closer to $150K done or more. Nonetheless, cool car and a reasonable price that someone could restore over time. Most people GREATLY under estimate how much it costs to properly restore a car especially if one of the top pro shops is handling the work and you want to use the correct parts. Quality costs a lot.

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

Could a RS COPO with restoration motor be bought for $175k?

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.

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

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

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

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
 

The car is very close to this one,vin 649841 BDY 302149 711 61 E 05E X11D80 invoiced to Scuncio on 06/02/69.

Re: COPO on Ebay
 

COULD HAPPEN. HOW MANY 68 'SS' CAMARO'S CONV, W/BB/396/325H/ TH400 CORVETTE BROZNE/BLK STD INTERIOR CARS WERE MADE (???) AND WHAT ARE THEY WORTH??
