Default Re: Possible COPO on ebay

It seems from your comments your rather a newbie in the camaro arena. Before you make comment about the purchase of the car like " What are you paying for? The trim tag? Seems pretty stupid to me " Educate your self in COPO/ Super Car world.

In my opinon, it was a great opportunity to own a COPO rather inexpensively. Yes it needs a lot of work, but to each his own. To some, it brings a great sense of pride and satisfaction resurrecting these basket cases.

Also lets not speculate that this is going to rebodied car at some point. I am sure the new owner would appreciate our support rather than bashing.

Who knows the history of this car, it may turn out to have a historical background.

It looks like it might have a real good cahnce on being the scuncio sponsored race car and it will be restored to the way it was raced if it is all correct to the research according to the new owner should be pretty cool. Sean

Less than 1/2 of a % (percent) of all '69 Camaros were ever produced with a COPO performance option. Uncovering a "new find" is a big deal, in my book, as is having the opportunity to bring one back to its former prominence.

Just want to be clear not saying it is the scuncio race car but could be a chance it came from scuncio. With more research we will let you know still a copo though. sean

Doubt it was ordered by Scuncio. It might have ultimately been sold by them, but theres a better than 90 percent chance it was originally ordered by Funston Chevrolet in Detroit, and any paperwork (window sticker, shipper forms etc.) would show them as the original dealer. If Scuncio sold it in a dealer trade then the only evidence would be the original bill of sale. Besides Funston is less than 100 miles away from where it sits today, while Scuncio is probably 800 miles or so. Bet the car hasn't left the SE corner of Michigan/NW corner of Ohio its whole life.
