70 LS6

I believe the actual full Yenko VIN's are known through paperwork, or at least the vast majority of them are..If they aren't then what does that say...??? I don't think COPO's are..to my knowledge there isn't a list of VIN's as in the 69 ZL1's that show a complete VIN..Therefore wouldn't it be fair to say that someone can take a single 3/8" fuel line low HP V8 Camaro that is a X11 body and build a COPO. Using your theory since the VIN isn't known and if the cowl tag and body build sequence is close then it is a "possible" COPO. I'm aware of the cars being built in sequences as well btw..but since there isn't a "firm" papertrail..who would know? With fraud being such a big part of this hobby now, wouldn't a car that has a factory paperwork be worth more since it can be eliminated from the potential frauds? I hate to argue this point as I think it is again personal opinion, but IMHO..the main reason COPO prices are at the level they are currently is largely in part to this website..Think about the number of cars that are traded among members here, each time raising the "value" and also helping to "validate" the car since it can be attributed to a "SYC" member. Case in point is the cars at Legendary Motors...these are documented Yenkos that are having a hard time moving(or at least did as I'm not 100% sure they haven't sold as of this writing)at the "current" prices..if the cars weren't somewhat overly inflated then they would have moved...the "non-SYC" member doesn't or is at least having a hard time, justifying the value or they would have never stayed around..Especially for such a popular car.

I'm not saying these cars aren't worth money or trying to step on others toes, but just food for thought. The LS6 in my opinion (again we all know what they are like) is currently undervalued.
