On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

May want to check this out. What does everyone think? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6161&item= 2447159007

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

I can't see the fender emblems very well. It looks like a wi. license plate expire oct 04. He says don't email unless you have $50,000 in the bank. If that is all he wants for the car, what a steal if it is real! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] Roger

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

Yup the plate looks like a WI one.....the phone number he listed is in Mount Horeb, WI. The the auction location is stated as FL....just some observations.

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

Both of his Emails come back. So is he referring to 9737 ? That would explain the 140 speedo. Is it a unconverted Yenko ? Is it a Yenko ? I would like to see the vin, trim tag and protecto plate.

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

Charley, sounds like it is a yenko. He says he has the original hood, two scoops. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] This also looks very similar to a 68 yenko that stauffer classics had for sale about a year ago. But i do not think there car was mod out like this one. If this car is in wi. i am only 20 min. away. If someone wants to run the plate, i will go knock on there door. Roger

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

I just looked at the pics again, not taken in wi. or mt. horeb, wi. Not sure what the florida auction connection is about? Roger

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

Maybe it has a Yenko door jamb tag.....That would make it simple.

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

It's a bike shop in Wi...............

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

I have talked with Tim about this car and he told me that the car is in Florida in storage. He also indicated that the car was a LA built car. no door tag. Is there something funny about the fender emblems placement?

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

do you have a picture of the old hood that he mentions in ad?

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

What's a "numbers matching engine" on a 68 Camaro 427? Is this one of the rumored 68 COPO 9561s?

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

Its an automatic, I thought all 68's were 4-speed. Be interesting to see that POP, if it were real wouldnt you think he would show that for maximum bid results along with all the other numbers, I would...

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

from my understanding there were only 4 automatics built in 68 with 427 copo package only one other known to exist

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

What's the information on the P-O-P? Also, Yenko wouldn't have done anything with an LA built car, would they?

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

to the best of our knowledge this is one of the rumored cars that slipped through the door factory built per yenko request.

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

were there any white cars sold? Also, when I talked to Tim about this car, he indicated that he thought the car was sold through Colonial Chev. Isn't that in VA. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

rolling thunder, how about posting a picture of the P-O-P. Seems to be a very improtant item not to have shown in the ad??

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

Just talked to Tims dad, he said they are changing the ad and putting in more photos...Also said that tim drove the car from Wisconson to south florida a couple weeks ago (long trip for a car like this!)..they just recently got this car. I got him to check out Kevin Suydams site and he said the original hood is like the 68 Dana Hood...Also said Motor has original Aluminum heads (L-88???)and the original color is white..I would definatly want to see this car in person before i popped in a 50-80K bid. With all this snow, a trip to Florida doesnt sound to bad [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

Here is a link to the only known 68 copo
http://groups.msn.com/CaMaRoChiC/196...opocamaro.msnw
Also L-72's have iron heads so a copo car would not come with aluminum heads as tims dad said came on the car from the factory, correct?

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

I find it hard to believe they built an LA 427 car that early in the production year for 68. Almost all the 69 COPO's were Norwood cars. You would need to see the P-O-P and window sticker to see if it looks like they are original and legitimate.

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

I would agree with Sammy Z, there was only one double COPO 9561/9737 built in 68 and Don Yenko got it, and the only one known to exsist today. The 68 double COPO Camaro was a prototype for the 69.

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

It could be a 68 Camaro SS396(L78), with (L89 heads),COPO 9737, not coverted over to a 427 by Don Yenko. Would have to take a look at it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

With so little known about Dana camaros, is it possibile this could be one of those cars? It being an LA built car and the hood design. Is the A/C system a modified factory unit or is it all aftermarket?

Are there such thing as 08B, 68 camaros? I thought production didnt start until Sept., Also, Chevy never put A/C in a car with Mechanical Lifters so whats up with that? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] If owner says car is original and has window sticker and POP as proof than it would have had to come from the factory that way. So dealer installed is out. Lots of questions with this car. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

FROM THE THE #'S I HAVE RECIEVED FROM THE CAR , I BELIEVE IT TO BE A DANA CAR [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img]
it was a 427 transplant conversion done At DANA Chevrolet in Southgate CA,

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

I thought he said it was a numbers matching 427 copo? window sticker and protecto plate says so? If it is a transplant, pop would not list the 427 option or the window sticker. Can we see pics of the pop and window sticker? The car will not sell for what it is worth without this info. Roger

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

I have a hard time with the factory auto trans and solid lifters, let alone a factory 427 ??

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

now im not 100% sure if it's a dana or a copo!!
if the car were a dana would it show the 427 option on the window sticker ?
i have a copy of the window sticker and the p.o.p and it does in fact state the 427 option !!

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

If it was a Dana..it would show DANA on the window sticker..

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

DANA MAN,

Are you the owner of the car? I just got an email from the seller and this is what he told me:

THE CAR AND THE PAPERWORK ARE IN FL, I HONESTLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT I HAVE ,I JUST PUT IT ON EBAY TO SELL IT TO MAKE THE MOVE WITH MY FAMILY BACK TO FL FROM WI, ( I MAY HAVE TO END THE AUCTION TO GET THE PROPER DOCUMENTATION TO SELL THE CAR FOR WHAT I HAVE FOUND OUT IT'S WORTH) I DID NOT KNOW THE CAR WAS A COPO UNTIL A CAR DEALERSHIP OWNER HAD INTEREST IN THE CAR AND RAN ALL THE #'S AND LOOKED THROUGH MY PAPERWORK , AND THANK GOD HE LET ME KNOW WHAT I HAD TO THE BEST OF HIS KNOWLEDGE.

How did you get pictures of the docs?


Jason

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

The seller has 2 pictures of a repop door panel in the auction and none of the window sticker, pop or Dana hood...oops,I meant Southgate hood.

I think he was quoting the ad. I do not think he has the documentation, Correct?

sounds like owner should hire a pro car detective to find out what it is [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

Put the paper work up! End of the problem, period.

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

Look at the registered dates of the posters on this subject.
There are at least 2 guys who just registered to this forum within days of this being posted??? All indicating somehow that the car is real. Does that sound suspicious??? Does to me.

An Factory 427 auto car with A/C from Calif with no documention??? I don't think so.

I'd assume the board moderators (otherwise the site admin) could easily check the IPs to perhaps get some idea if the two new people are the same. I don't know that someone on Ebay (even though there's potentially a lot of money in it for them) has that high of a potential of posting on this and other various web boards where people might be posting about it. I could be wrong. Like others said, the guy says what he has, he should support those claims and show people the papers. Beyond that, it may as well not be the real deal anyway, so that's that. :-)

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

The RESERVE is met so lets see what happens now! I have talked to the owner, no POP yet, he doesn't know or anyone else what he really has. After him stating on ebay all that he has, now with the RESERVE met he I hope he has what he claims to have. He mentioned ending the auction early to get the facts straight about the car then re-list it. It should be interesting- hopefully the ending will be good, a legit car, and a car that will be found and saved.

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

Hey, Its "the nicest camaro of its kind in the world"! What more could you ask for? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro
 

This picture to me has many holes. He has strong statements about numbers and no rust, etc. Like he knows the car, but does not supply the NEEDED items to clear the air. I would think he would want to show the needed doc's because it would add value to his sale. For someone to pay 50K or more with out the doc's seems ridiculous, unless the high bidder( maybe the person the owner states that told him what he has afer seeing the doc's)knows what's up.
