What would be the best way to start getting the car authenticated without spending significant dollars up front - is there anyone who can tell if the VIN relates to an authentic COPO before I try and find someone to inspect the car for me.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

It is extremely difficult to verify a COPO without genuine Chevrolet documentation. All the suggested pics are a good start but could prove inconclusive. There are plenty of very well-done clones around; some with real L72 engines. An inspection is mandatory but once restored, originality is destroyed. Anything could have been done. The pics show radio ground straps but no radio. Hmmm...
