COPO.com Website
 
I just saw that Ed Cunneen has removed all the COPO VINs from his site and posted that he is no longer documenting these cars. Here is the messege from his site.
James

Effective November 13, 2005 I will no longer be maintaining a registry of COPO's, or certify/ inspect vehicles.

I have spent over 30 years working on this project, and have had many enjoyable memories. However, I feel now it is time to spend more time enjoying my family.

Thank you all for your past patronage.

I don't blame him...too much liability involved today.

That is really a shame. Ed has contributed enormously to the hobby and especially the COPO cars. I hope he will reconsider at some point and perhaps add a disclaimer if needed for liability purposes.

I can only speculate as to why this has happened, but it is not a positive step for our coveted Super Cars/hobby.

I would guess a lawsuit, a rebody, a cert, and money. In the end its always about the buck.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif
Ed is a good guy and always helpful, hopefully everything is ok..Enjoy your family Ed!

What will happen to his database? Is it for sale? Will it go to the CRG for public access?
Ed was always nice to me, and I hope that he enjoys his family. It can get tirering being THE authority, and it's not hard to see why he stepped down.
Good luck, Ed

Was anyone smart enough to make copys of the registry when it was up? I know I sure wasnt I guess you kind of take that stuff for granted. It sure would be nice just to know what Vins where on there..Its going to turn into clone/scam city once the crooks find out you can get a cert. or check vins anymore..Anyways I hope Ed enjoys the family life he has provided a great service over the years Thanks Ed. I also would be curious if the data base/web site will be forsale.
