Click here for April L COPO thread </div></div> Ah! Thanks guys. I read it. Nice novel. 9 pages of...NOTHING. I like the fact that April L starts out wondering if she has a COPO. By page 9, she admits she is ignorant of just about anything to do with a car, yet she went buying a race car??!! Headline: Naive girl buys car and gets a bunch of experienced geezers to corroborate a myth. Why put it up for sale until its history is vetted and proven beyond a doubt? Why not invest in or borrow a decent camera? What you have April L is a highly modified race car with more holes and rivets than a Grumman F6F Hellcat nothing more at this point. Hey, this afternoon, I am taking all the &quot;goodies&quot; off my very original SS 396 car and putting them on the yellow X11 out in the yard, then getting my crappy cell phone camera out to take some out of focus pics. Man, am I going to get rich. Sorry I am so jaded and skeptical, but haven't we seen it all! Show me the carfax,lol.

The revised add now has reference to &quot;COPO&quot; no less than 15 x's. I guess if you say it enough, it will make it come true. You ever hear of &quot;less is more&quot;? The plethora of inaccuracies and statements lead one to question more, than less, the credibility of the statements used to support the claim. In the original add, it was stated that racers changed parts and sold off stuff. Could this car have a rear end that was traded for or bought through a fraternity of other racers? How many race cars have deluxe interiors and although all other components are gone, those pieces seemed to stay with car? Please, I am not putting down the person or the car, just my observations as an unbiased observer. I have heard and seen many reports about Bigfoot, but the more I hear and see and the more I say Bigfoot, does not make it anymore a fact.
