Re: Whos COPO is this?
 

Don't COPO's come with 140mph speedometers?

Re: Whos COPO is this?
 

Only if they had the COPO 9737 package would they get 15" wheels/tires and the 140 speedo.

Re: Whos COPO is this?
 

Several things about the car that don't strike me as right:

1) The grill is black, shouldn't it be silver?

2) Were there any COPO's built with the RS option?

3) The car sits low, could have been a 350 car and didn't change the springs.

4) I thought most COPO's got the column shift with an Auto.

5) Where are the Doc's?

Just my $.02.

[/ QUOTE ]The RS option could be ordered on a copo. My car came with the Automatic console and no gauges a complete stripo. I don't know if it's the same car but I remember a car similar to this one being discussed a while back https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Re: Whos COPO is this?
 

I believe this is the same 69 COPO RS Camaro that CorvetteMike was selling a while back. Anyway, the RS grill color is correct, and if it was a CODE 10 (Tuxedo Black) car, then the grill would be silver.
Although very few of them were built, you could order a COPO with the RS option. A member here has one, which is very nice! I have seen column, 4 speed, and console shifted (horseshoe) COPO's.

Re: Whos COPO is this?
 

Canadian COPO so it likely has good papers.

Re: Whos COPO is this?
 

Wow, you do learn something new every day.

Re: Whos COPO is this?
 

Doesn't Pete Simpson have a Registry of Canadian COPOs?

Re: Whos COPO is this?
 

Yep...

Re: Whos COPO is this?
 

Nice color combo https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif and the car does sit kinda low. COPO's could be ordered pretty much anyway you wanted RPOwise, although AC was not available. Many were not heavy on the options as the primary duty was to go quick in a straight line. The powerplant/drivetrain package was the shining star here. And what a deal at under $500 for the 9561 option! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Whos COPO is this?
 

Hey Ed! How's your COPO coming along?

Anything new and exciting going on? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Whos COPO is this?
 

It says in the description that it has a 396 yet it has 427 decals???

Re: Whos COPO is this?
 

I think he is showing how it was ordered with a 396 and then with the copo option it bcame a 427...

Re: Whos COPO is this?
 

The car was in Idabel Ok not Ok City. I purchased the car in 96 or 97 in Toronto. Rich P put the car on ebay for me last year. I decided not to sell the car after Mark B told me that the car might be rebodied. I did further investigation of the car and concluded that Mark was probably correct. The vin is on the cowl but on closer inspection it appears some metal work was done in that area. I didn't pull the heater box to check for the vin. Some things point to the car being correct but I felt there was enough evidence to sell the car as a probable rebody
priced accordingly. I sold it last year and it was immediately flipped to Mike V. The car had the Canadian docs with it when I sold it. The engine and trans are not original but the BE was dated correctly I think. The block is a 512 but two bolt mains. The front springs are small block and the correct rear springs were heated and bent to lower the car. The car is for the most part the way I bought it. Hope this info helps.

Re: Whos COPO is this?
 

Wow, Phil, thanks for that information. I was going to bid on this car, if you don't mind me asking, what did you sell it for, or do you know what Mike V did? Thanks for any info.

Re: Whos COPO is this?
 

Since the sale was a private sale I'm reluctant to reveal the selling price. The purchaser might not appreciate a public discussion of such. He sold to Mike so I was not involved in that transaction. Having said all that I can say that the price was very reasonable in my opinion. It's difficult to really judge since there is quite a spectrum of opinion on rebodied cars. I for one don't want to own one at any price. If I had known the story on the silver car I wouldn't have owned it in the first place. I'm not saying that the car is rebodied without question but there is certainly a cloud over it. It also gets back to that whole discussion about what really constitutes a rebody. This didn't answer your question but I'll answer any that I can.

Phil

Re: Whos COPO is this?
 

Thanks, I appreciate it and understand your position.

Re: Whos COPO is this?
 

Phil, you stated the engine and trans are not original, but yet it shows only 7,000 + miles, do you know if this is correct?

Re: Whos COPO is this?
 

I wouldn't put much trust into the odometer reading. It was represented to me as accurate but other statements by the seller have come into question. I do believe the car is a rebody and the odometer could be from the replacement body. I certainly wouldn't use it as any justification to purchase the car. Too bad on this one because it is really well optioned. Even the red lines are correct for the car.
