Default Re: CoPo? on Ebay?

Has anyone gotten the rearend info back yet?

Look at the ad picture that shows the motor frame mount and the crossmember, then go compare them to your cars.
The mounts scale measure too tall for BBC mounts and the crossmember looks to be missing the passenger side dimple that is correct for a BBC crossmember. IMO.
Ask for the frame motor mount numbers and pictures showing the mount bolt heads and nuts. Also ask for better picture of the crossmember.

I am posting this for those members who have emailed me about the car. I'm sorry but I can't tell you that the car is or isn't a real COPO car. All I can do is let you know what I see and what I would check for, if I was inspecting the car to buy it.

On a car with this kind of low milage and lack of weathering, there should be certain tell-tale items left that would not have been tampered with by its racing history.

Anyone interested in the car should look it over in person and know what they are checking for.

Hope this info is some help.
Eric
