Default Re: COPO on Ebay

I believe there was a discussion a month or so back on TC... the car appears to be legit and based on what I saw and read + JM's cert... I would have NO PROBLEM buying it. A RS/COPO in Burnished Brown would be Killer... I don't think I have ever even seen a BB RS... If it turns out to be a 9737 car as well then all the better.
Probably cost 70k to send it to a shop and have it done... base your number accordingly...

Yes the owner says the rear is a BT which would be a 3:55, not a 3:31 as I posted earlier.

Aren't there only 6-7 RS copo's known to exhist? This is probably the only B Brown one so that makes it exceptionally rare. It wouldn't surprise me if it hit 60K...another 80 to restore it & you're still under 150
