I never thought that a rear body clip constituted rebody status, nor did I realize that the eng/trans was orig to the car, so it probably was a well bought car.
Your Cortez COPO was awesome and personally thought it was easily a 150K car with the orig rear, trans, doc's, great color & restoration...it was a steal imo.
The RG COPO bids seemed to stop as soon as other bidders saw who was bidding on it (R Childress??)& it hammered @ 107 and I think I read somewhere that the resto cost 100K...but who knows, I'm just an outside observer these days.
Does it make sense to restore anything (for resale) these days? If I had untubbed my COPO would it be worth any more or less? Drag strip survivors certainly should hold some significance in the hobby, but it seems that day1 cars are still what the 'investor/collector' wants. Anyway, I feel fortunate to be 'stuck' with a Scuncio car with interesting race history.
