ok, someone help me out with what exactly is a proper-rebody? rebody is like the last term I would want to use, even if proper.

It is just like having a properly restamped block.It seems that more fuss is being made these days over Z/28's with restamped blocks then over quarter million dollar copo's with that are rebodied.It is just another way of politly saying that somebody wrappd their 427 Camaro around a pole or cut it up into a tube chassis race car 30 yars ago and kept the VIN and trim tag in their sock draw for posterity and are now figuring out that these cars are worth so much that using the tags on a plain jane body is worth doing.The price difference between a plain jane and a COPO car is now so great that it pays to hold out on the internet until you find a perfect plain jane Camaro in exactly the color combo as your old COPO,pay way more then any sane person would pay for such a car,then start adding your COPO do-dads to it and rake in the big dough.Find a perfect survivor plain jane and you can really make the big bucks when you make it into a low mile suvivor COPO.
