Re: CoPo? on Ebay?
So what? Most guys who go from stick to auto, dont remove the entire assembly. Most of the time, they just leave the clutch pedal dangling there. Even if they wanted to remove the clutch pedal, they would just unclip the pin and remove it from the pedal assembly. They sure as heck wouldn't go out and find another assembly and then save the old one.
Has the ad been updated? Just wondering because if I were selling an original COPO, I would at least let potential buyers know if it had the BE in it and what the VIN and Date stamp on the 512 block is. He says he has another 12 bolt from the old lady and thinks it 'might' be a BE rear. All he is saying is that it is a COPO car with no proof other than "this guy and that guy remembers the car as a 427 car". That would not be good enough for me.
I don't know if you guys ever hung out with racers but when they take a piece of a car, it was usually for sale because they always want money for something else they need. Few guys even realized what a BE rear-end was 20 years ago. Back then, a 12 bolt out of a Camaro was a 12 bolt out of a Camaro.
This seller seems to have his facts with respect to COPO part numbers yet he is not willing to take the extra step to confirm the numbers and post pics? As someone else said, the heater box has been off before and there is absolutely nothing in his ad to prove to me that the car was not an original SS350 car with a ZL2 option. Common guys!
