Re: Possible COPO on ebay
The "other" source for a trim tag is a repo trim tag. This trim tag on this car is part of the guts of this car and helps make it what it is. From the indicators on the car it appears this car came with a 427 from the factory. Most of the people that frequent this site are here because of that type of car and this kind of find is what it is all about. You can go get a body in white and build a nice clone but when you are done you still have a clone. I looked back at the auction and there are plenty of usable panels. This is not even close to a swamp find.....And you get a free trailer.

Re: Possible COPO on ebay
A COPO is a COPO no matter whether it has an engine, or anything left for that matter just as a base V8 is a base V8 whether it has tags that say it is a Z28 or a SS or even if it has a MN 427 in it that has a vin that matches the cars VIN it is what it left the factory as... Anyone can clone a car or swap the tags (well almost) but it takes someone who is determined and appreciates them to bring one back from the dead.
