COPO on Ebay

[COPO CARTEL]

I promise who ever bought that car will spend a grand total of 200K to do the car and do it correct, in that amount the purchase price of the car is included, sit down and do the math on the car and it adds up very quickly. Parts for the COPO cars are not cheap ie. motor, trans, rear, almost entire sheet metal, paint,original interior, X-11 goodies, radiator, minimum of 1,000 hours to do the car @ $50 per hour. Believe me when I say I have sat down and ran a complete list of parts to do a car. With that car you are doing a restoration around a trim tag.

Is anyone familiar with who that buyer is?
Curious with an ID name like Bergerbuy,maybe he knows something we don't..

These days I see nothing wrong with a less than concourse restoration if it's for your enjoyment. Personally, I won't ever hunt the rare/expensive stuff to make 'em numbers correct again.
I think the new owner could spend another 80K or so & be very proud of this COPO when all's said & done.

would bet its a Candian sold car since all the records I have only the Candian sold ones have that 650xxx as a VIN with this one being 650030

2 R/Green
1 D/Yellow

Bruce,
Your numbers are so close to my brown car(posted above) that it piqued my interest. NICB lists the selling dealer as Ewing Chevrolet, Canton OH.

Production Date: 05/29/69
Invoice #: FN30171
Invoice Date: 06/03/69
Dealer Code: 28168 (Ewing Chevrolet,Canton OH)

Good luck on the resto.

Regards- Chris

Thanks for the info! I spoke to Dave Ewing (former owner of the delivering dealership) and he hooked me up with his former manager of the high performance area of his dealership. The manager remembered ordering my burnish brown car because of the unusual color and the RS option (he delivered a dozen or so copo Camaros). He even remembers the original customer who bought it! He's still around andI'll be speaking to him this weekend. Thanks guys for all of your help and encouragement with my "project". Bruce
p.s. the high performance manager said that he tried to talk the customer out of ordering a console because it was useless weight that would slow the car down! I'm glad that the customer prevailed in the negotiations.
