COPO Camaro

Very amazing - especially with a POP that looks so good to most folks. I'll just keep looking for that affordable needle in a haystack. Thanks for everyone's information, input, advice, suggestions and guidance!

This comment is in reference to protecto plates: There are companies/individuals who have been in business many years stamping these plates. Some actually use original blanks as well as the original stamping machine and sometimes even vintage warranty booklets while others do not.

if anyone is interested, scott has provided a copy of the ed c. findings page on this particular car. pm me an e-mail address and i will e-mail you back the file, i don't know how to post any files. scott said that they lost $20,000.00 on the deal to make it right with their customer.

This "COPO" was discussed as part of this thread. Charley knows about the car.

Going to go look at the car tomarrow. It is about four miles from me. I have bought parts from the current owner before, and he has always seemed nice enough. On the phone, he readily admitted that the car was probably a rebody. I will get the full story tomarrow. He may have gotten stuck with it.

I know many of you disagree, (flame up) but if it is just a rebody issue, I say no big deal if that is put out into the open (in fact, should have been in the ad from day 1). I do not see a whole lot of difference between a rebody and a complete sheetmetal job that many camaro's these days have.

I am more concerned with the drivetrain being numbers matching and it (or at least the cowl) being from a real CoPo car. After all, it was the drivetrain that set the car apart.

Not trying to start a flame war, just saying........

You might want to look at the ZL1 clone for sale here, seems like a very nice car and he did a great job for a fair price. I think it's a better buy.

Yes that is one fine ride. On the brown camaro, looks like (vin) numbers are not on the pad, so he wants to try and see if they are by the oil filter. Looks like more and more the car is not a "deal".
