Also - as long as I knew the collection after it was first uncovered there had never been any mention of a gold COPO, if there would have been I'm quite sure I would have heard about it...it's kind of funny, when Larry first uncovered the stuff you could see everything (no gold COPO) for free...now it's been picked through and you have to pay and see what's left...

Fred, regarding the Gold Copo, I thought the same thing too. Ever since this lot was discovered I don't recall hearing anything about a gold Copo. The under carriage did not look as if it had been sitting for an extended period of time. Look like the work had been performed within the last 3-4 years. The body was in very good shape but the paint had a couple of scratches that did jump out at you. If you knew the guy though and seen what his overall collection looks like, you would think this was the best of the best.
Neverless, if it's a real Copo, it's nice looking with that color combo with the white top, parchement interior, Gold XT's and dog dishes. I wish I had brought my camera
Kinda of wierd though, the guy who collected all of this to begin with and the new owner of the lot had a lot in common with hording and stashing.
