L89,
Are you talkin about the Cajun Copo from La.? I saw him at the Houston show and at the show in Montgomery. There was also an orange ZL1 at Montgomery and they looked like twins except for the aluminum and iron engines. Both were in the gold class. I attached a pic but it loses alot in the scan [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

That's the same car. I looked at the car close and saw a few "things" like no left rear exhaust hanger plate on the frame. I talked to the owner and the guy that restored the car and was told it was a real COPO (no paper work). It's a real nice resturation but missing a few things.
The owner said he had been offered 75K and I was suprized that he didn't sell. In my option [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img]

What is the $ value of a real COPO? I am new to this site. Some excellent reading. Joebuck. Hendersonville TN. 67 SS Camaro L-88 427 Motor from 69 Corvette. Searching for 67 Console with guage pac. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]

Welcome to the site! The value of these cars has really skyrocketed in the last twelve months. A year ago you could get a restored COPO for about 65-75K now you are looking at 100K for a matching number, frame off. A fresh frame off, matching number Yenko Camaro can go for 150K. I think in the near future these prices are going even higher, I don't think things have peaked yet. After watching the prices of parts on e-bay, especially on the 69 camaros which are really getting out of hand, it will be cheaper in the long run to buy a car done than try to restore one. It is getting to the point now where it is going to cost you at least 50K for a resto even if you have a solid car to start with! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
