I am curious as to what added value you/market places on the larger spoiler. Also is there a record of which car received the first 3 piece spoiler. I believe the sunshine hurst camaro had the prototype front spoiler installed for some testing purpose.

Hi Steve,
Like I was telling 427King, I am not quite sure (added value).
But, there is an average $100,000 difference between a Yenko COPO and a regular COPO and that is just a sticker change.
What makes a 69 COPO camaro bring more money than a 69 COPO Chevelle. Same powerplant? For that matter, a RPO L78 car is pretty close in performace (relatively) to a COPO.
Although I agree that performance wise, at speeds under 120mph (Did you read the article I scanned in on the ebay ad from Musclecar review?) there is no difference between performace between a 70 Z COPO and a 70 Z.
However, history wise, the 70 COPO was a major part of GM's SCCA racing ticket. It definatly made a huge performace difference over the standard Z relative to SCCA racing.
As we all know, GM was supposed to make a 500 run to meet the SCCA rules, but all indications (all 2nd hand info) are that they produced far less than 500 cars.
So, it really all boils down to this.
1. IMHO, the 70 Z COPO is to SCCA what the 69 COPO was to Drag Racing.
2. There were very few made, and of those only a fraction have bulletproof docs and can be guaranteed real (<1% total Z production).
3. If a sticker change is worth 100k for a yenko vs a copo, what is a spoiler package that provided a drastic increase in performace worth, and one that influenced Camaro production (+10years!) that can only be compaired to the cowl hood option?
I know of one other sale that was far over the numbers I have been throwing out there.
