Out of curiosity...What's was the asking price in the Hemmings ad?

If it's the same car, last month it listed for 75K & the Oct issue had it for $69,500. Ad states it's Lemans Blue with X11 style trim. Great deal

Well bought... I'm gonna have to stop working so much... it is cutting into Muscle car hunting... grrrrrr

Original color was Lemans Blue, but the original owner painted it black right after he got it to go racing. The shop owner I got it from was asking $75k but got it for $64k ,$1650 for shipping , and a great great story priceless !!! I allready have the car mostly gutted to repaint to Black for awhile (its purple per 3rd owner?) but it really is in real nice shape so I thought I would take it back to race day glory till I do a nut/bolt restro someday. I just got the old school moroso hood today for it. Will look good on the car for some great photos then hange on the shop wall. I will attach a picture to this post see above.

Oh and Pete, I did not sell the RS/SS L78, hate to sell but yes its still on the market. cheating on her w/ a COPO!

[NovaMob03]

Mike, I'd suggest re-thinking the black paint in favor of LeMans Blue....even if it's a quick, body-on paint job. Just look at Alan Forman's car...a perfect example of a day2 COPO that can be driven & enjoyed. JMO

Thanks Jude, I know Iam thinking the same thing on the LeMans Blue but I really want to get my own picture of the car like it was racing back in the day, but I'am really happy with it being a real Blue car. I will add a attachment on this post above of the door panel off the LeMans Blue is real nice under there. Iam pulling the motor and trany tomarrow so I can detail the engine bay, this car is really cool, no really it has 5 coolers a rad, trany, oil, fuel, & last a p/steeering cooler? So I will have lots to do! just to get it back to basics. Thanks Mike

Mike, paint it black and leave it in race day trim till you get sick of it. (maybe 50 years down the road) then restore it. Look how Caleb Arones race car COPO looks in Day-2 trim! Bad A$$ and the way it is suppose to be IMO! A great find! Have some fun.

The prior owner of the car knew it was a COPO.
He said something about it being bought for the dealer's son as a b-day present. The prior owner #2 took the BE rear when he sold him the car.
Course he didn't have any papers on the car......
