Re: 69 COPO Camaro barn find
Awesome story and find. I watched the story unfold on Camaros.net and I'm wondering how Bill found the car? Do you know or can you share that with us? Was it just word of mouth or was he driving around and noticed the car in the garage? Just curious.
Thanks, and good luck with it! Mike

Nicely done. It does make me wonder how many more are "out there"? Elon

Re: 69 COPO Camaro barn find
That just goes to show you that when you are looking for vultures, not only do you have to watch for ones with wings, you also have to watch for ones with trailers.
I'm glad it worked out, but I gotta tell you, I had my doubts when Bill started talking about a COPO barnfind in an open forum.

Re: 69 COPO Camaro barn find
Gary - I thought it was bad until another guy started posting about a possible purchase of BM Vette in Florida for 15K....

Re: 69 COPO Camaro barn find
I think I read that the owner of the BE and tranny are known and that a deal might be in the offing. Or did I imagine that?

[/ QUOTE ] I have spoken to the person who has the original M22 and BE rear end from my car . I am trying to buy the parts but there is a person by the name of Doug Perry who is trying to buy them also . The person with the parts indicated he had heard from Mr. Perry today ... I also know the man I bought the car from was getting calls from Doug Perry last week when I had bought the car and told me yesterday he is still getting calls from him.... not sure why someone would want to buy parts for a car that he knows is sold to another person and that person is trying to buy them himself to put back in the car. I would think for the sake of the car he would back out and let me put this together ! After all we are all just caretakers of these cars . They will be around long after we are gone .
