CoPo? on Ebay?

[enio45]

Read the sellers ebay feedback, there is one or two situations that indicates the descriptions are not what the cars are in person. Might be not an issue, but when the real data needs to be forthcoming...its not. Seems the rear info should be readily available IMO.

He emailed back and stated that it is a BE rear. Still waiting on the date codes.

Having the original BE rear is a plus and will help. Like i stated before. IMO, i am 98% sure it is a real COPO without having the BE rear availible. For any of you wanting a COPO car, this is one to go look at. Take your books and inspect it well.

Has anyone gotten the rearend info back yet?

Look at the ad picture that shows the motor frame mount and the crossmember, then go compare them to your cars.
The mounts scale measure too tall for BBC mounts and the crossmember looks to be missing the passenger side dimple that is correct for a BBC crossmember. IMO.
Ask for the frame motor mount numbers and pictures showing the mount bolt heads and nuts. Also ask for better picture of the crossmember.

I am posting this for those members who have emailed me about the car. I'm sorry but I can't tell you that the car is or isn't a real COPO car. All I can do is let you know what I see and what I would check for, if I was inspecting the car to buy it.

On a car with this kind of low milage and lack of weathering, there should be certain tell-tale items left that would not have been tampered with by its racing history.

Anyone interested in the car should look it over in person and know what they are checking for.

Hope this info is some help.

Good advice Eric...no paperwork,no drivetrain ,trans/pedal change,brake change adds up to a real tough car to ever figure out..

Per the reply given in the auction:
"This is definitely a REAL COPO car. Info is on the trim tag."


Anyways, if it aint what it's described to be, a 10-10 car would be nice to own!

Still no pics or date codes yet on the rear. Anyone else get them?
