Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

I see that Barrett Jackson has a COPO Camaro running on Saturday. It is silver with blue interior. I don't know if it's my computer or what, but I can't seem to pull up the cars on their website. Does anyone know, is this the same car that was the topic of much discussion last year? The rebodied one?

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

Is this the one you are referring to? The decription states "During the restoration, this car was re-bodied."

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

I believe the one that was suspected of being rebodied was Rally Green.

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

2008 ZR-1 rolling chassis??? WTF? Didn't know GM sold stuff like that.

I'm not sure...the link just takes me to the first page of about 100 cars, Tuesday cars I suspect. I can't figure out why I can't get past that point. Anyway, I thought there was a Silver/Blue car discused here some time ago that had sold at Russo and I was wondering if this was the same car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

Here is the description from the BJ web-site:

This 1969 Camaro was a limited edition production vehicle, equipped from the factory with COPO 9561, a special high performance package which includes an L72 427/425hp engine with a matching numbers motor and transmission. The rear end is the original special posi-traction unit with a heat treated 4.10:1 ring & pinion. Included is a special ducted hood, dual exhaust system, increased cooling capacity and a heavy duty suspension. This car is equipped with the Rally Sport Package and Endura bumper. It was specifically engineered for drag race competition. This car is Cortez Silver with blue interior. During the restoration, this car was re-bodied. It is also documented with the Canadian paperwork and the COPO Connection Certification. This car was formerly from the Reggie Jackson collection.

You have to click on the arrow next to the day. Change it to Saturday. Then look for Lot Number 1354.1 or just scroll down until you see the car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

There's an old thread here that addresses some of the issues pertaining to the silver deuce.
Perhaps someone could find, and post it.

Absolutely correct, Darren.

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

The Yellow Yenko race car isnt a re-body is it?? I had hopes of possibly buying that car. I thought only the green car was a rebody.

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

I was referring to my Love of a members car (Yellow) not one at the BJ auction sorry for any confusion.

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

You say that their is two Yenko Camaro's https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

I caught the Yellow car that you were talking about a members car.

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

Gotcha Now,

I see what you guys are talking about https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

Thank you for the link - I did finally get it to work for me (wasn't the computer, was the operator https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif) So yes, it is the same car I remember as being sold in FL at a Russo auction and subsequently being discussed here. Would have been last March or April I guess. I wonder if the seller is the same guy (Pete I think it was) that bought it at Russo. Seems like the discussion here was that he was wanting to get out of the sale. At any rate, it's good to see the car is being representing as what it is.

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

I think I saw the green Camaro cross the block at Mecum, but did not hit the reserve.

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

So,do I understand correctly that...
..The Silver 1969 Zl-1 is a rebodied car
...the 1969 Fathom green Yenko camaro is a "rebodied car" and automatic
..the Silver 1970 Yenko Deuce is a "rebodied car"
...and the Yellow 1969 Yenko Camaro is an "original body" survivor car...and automatic( does it have the original motor )? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...-I-Have-It.gif

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

For anybody not already knowing,the Fathom Green, #27 ZL-1 69 Camaro, is a TOTAL recreation with only the VIN tag being original. Rebodied, repowered, Re-trim tagged, RE EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

Chuck..Since you are the guy with first hand knowledge you would probably best served if you just sent a letter straight to Barrett-Jackson. I know that happened on the white ZL1 before in regards to it's orig engine and they paid attention.

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

So what was the deal with the black 69 COPO Camaro? It was consigned by Joe Amato, did he buy this car at last years auction? $97K seemed cheap.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

Charley, Les Quam offered to help me prepare an affidavit on this subject.

I can't prove any of my claims and I'm thinking it might be taken as hear say or B.S. I have no copy of my old WA state title, no picture of anything showing ZL-1 trim tag, VIN tag, ZL-1 engine in car, nothing............
There are people in Seattle who could confirm that I did own the car, such as Jerry Valentine (ex NHRA tech director), and Dick Tutino original owner and Alan Green Chevrolt service manager (who sold me the car, around 1975).

Only people who know the story of how the the ORIGINAL VIN tag was sold to whomever cloned/created what is being called a REBODIED ZL-1 obviously arent talking.....

I'm the person who parted out the ORIGINAL #27. I'm the person who knows the Original T-400 and 12 Bolt was gone when I owned/raced the car. I'm the person who sold the original #27 engine........however hear say has it that Gus Foster from Seattle wound up with it and or the damaged/destroyed block ??????

Why the COPO connection/ Cunneen would ever give the car his seal of approval based on the VIN TAG only will always baffle me ???

Curious to hear what the current engine alledgedly is ????? in terms of dates and stamping codes.

Hope nobody buys this CLONE without knowing the TRUTH!!!!!

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

I was thinking the same on the price. 97,000 seemed too "affordable" for a Copo. Was this car a possible rebody?

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

Green ZL1 sold for 290k? Took lots of block time to get it there.. I saw Reggie bidding on it, but it looks like someone else won..Anyone know the winner?

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro

Im thinking so...I remembered the "57" scribbled on the firewall from the pics that were posted here..

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

The green ZL-1 auction was embarassing to watch. Craig Jackson stopping the hammer??? Steve Davis giving Pratte a backrub??

I seriously doubt the buyer knows exactly what he bought.

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

Looked like Reggie was bidding it up for Gary. He finally told Reggie to let it go. Hmmmmmm that was very interesting. Only telling it how I saw it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

(hypothetical math question) So if a nice ZL-1 clone is worth about $100K then
$290 K - $100K = $190K
thats the value of a ZL-1 VIN tag...? I better keep a security camera on mine then.

/sarcasm

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

I swear I saw Reggie bid a couple of times while being coached by Holub!! New best friends!

LOL I was thinking the same thing...They also seem to give it unusually long "auction block" time...

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
 

What the f*** was that??? Stopping the hammer ?? Reggie bidding on the green ZL-1? And then retracting his 300k bid...Does he know what the car is?? Didn't he used to own the car? am I confused??

I really don't think the buyer has a clue of the history of this car... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
