Re: 1969 Copo ?
I've been following this thread since the beginning and have come to a couple different conclusions.
First: I would say that the car is probably worth gambling on, although I am not interested in buying it. A decent '69 Camaro race car has some value and depending on how nice it is in person, the asking price isn't out of the stratosphere.
Second: I would consider this an "entry-level" COPO (a new term) as this car probably will never have the original components and/or documentation. This being the case, in my opinion, it may not warrant a high-end restoration as it might be a money losing proposition. How much is a non- numbers and non-documented "possible" COPO worth? Is it worth more than the price of the car, the price of the COPO-specific pieces that are missing, and the cost of the restoration including chrome, sheet metal , etc. when you total all of these things?
Third: William and Stefano and many others have voiced their opinions and each of those opinions are formed by data and experience. While these opinions do have validity, they do also differ. Opinions should differ---we are talking about a 45 year old race car with no supporting paper trail or any original documentation. I'd be more surprised if everyone thought the same.
The guys and gals here know their stuff, but instead of the bantering and cross examinations, why not pool the facts and draw a reasonable conclusion and see if there really is a hidden Supercar that has surfaced?
