The X44 COPO is a base car without style trim. If you are doing this as a family project go for it. You can take your time as you look for parts. Engine items, trim , body panels etc are getting harder to find all the time and the repo parts they sell for the most part are junk. It's hard to believe they can even sell this stuff. The car you have bought will be a stunning combination when finished. I have yet to see a Scunzio COPO car in person. The car is super low miles. As far as paper is concerned. It seems well documented and has all the things you would look for in a COPO. X44 big blocks are COPO's. As for price payed, who cares but you. Any board member would want at least that for it if it were theirs. You may find a project that costs less, but you will get less most of the time. As time goes buy it will seem like you did very well, and I think you did well at this point. Choose your parts venders wisely. Ask questions to this board. Many members do restorations all the time. It will be an excellent project with a high upside when done...BKH
