In my case that is over 38 years in the hobby including 15 years of Camaro business experience. Just to ensure you get it I will repeat it.

Nobody can certify a non-OE drivetrain no docs car as a COPO. </div></div>


William,

My intent with this post is not to challenge you only to provide another point of view. You and I as well some others in the industry completely disagree on this matter.

You can in some circumstances prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a 1969 Camaro is indeed a COPO L72 and in some cases you may also be able to prove some of the factory options on said vehicle.

Whether or not you individually choose to believe that particular vehicle is a 9561 COPO L72 is up to you. But the case wherein a certification can be provided by someone, is valid.

I have seen at least one certification from a prominent &quot;core member&quot; of CRG, wherein, the Camaro certified had no paperwork, none of the original drivetrain, was not directly in a body and/or vin sequence, had no dealer or long term owner history etc and did receive a certification. While I may not agree with that particular certification. It is obvious that in the hobby and even amongst CRG members that there are some varying opinions.

Certainly the perceived and or realized market valve of a paper-worked, documented and or original drivetrain COPO 9561 Camaro may far exceed that of one without such proof.
