Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
I'll be home tomorrow, if Tony wants to call after 11AM Pacific time..........my home # is 425-277-8833
BigBlockKid, That's the wildest story I ever heard about my old Alan Green #27 ZL-1. Dick Tutino(1st owner/ser mgr at Alan Green) may have driven car on street when first delivered as ODO had 50 miles on it when I owned it (after speedo cable and most of wiring harness was gutted). Car also could have collected ODO miles while at Gibb Chev ?????? Car was strickly a race car from almost day 1............ I still have original sway bar, heater plenum, back seat....

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
Speed Commentator comments really got me....
"A rebody is kind of like George Washington's AX, it just got another handle-but is it still Geroge Washington's AX??" "I remember several years ago when a ZL-1 would bring over 1 Million dollars- Welcome to 2009" My fear is that the Hobby has reached a new low with the value reputation for ZL-1 and Yenko Nova's now injured through the sale of these cars and the remarks by the speed commentators. Not Good.

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
As a recap man from East Moline,IL Mike M partnered with Tom R to buy the "clone" #27 ZL-1 at B/J 2009.
Mike M told me in Jan 09, after the auction and all that ensued that he was going to have local (to him) well known restorer check out misc firewall and cowl VIN numbers on #27. Phone call that I made today 1/7/2010 my source claims that nothing was removed from car and no numbers were ever checked. Mike M is no longer partner in car and I believe Tom R owns car outright. I have digitized more old print pics. Below shows (2nd from top, all one color) Candy Red Camaro at Tacoma Dome Car Show. This is SAME car as Multi Colered drag car that I built from ZL-1 body, chassis, trim parts. This all red 69 Camaro is still in WA state and has a different VIN and title as #27 VIN tag and title was sold to "cloner" to build the current Fathom Green #27.

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
I sold the multi colored C/SM drag car to Alan Martin Chevrolet, Bremerton,WA around 1982. Alan never did much if anything with the car. Several people in the same general area have owned the car after Alan Martin. I cant honestly say who ownes the (ALL Red repainted) car now. I also am not sure who exactly re-removed and sold the #27 VIN and sold it to cloner with title.

Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
I posted this on TC, but it applies to this thread too...
If you use that same "George Washington's axe" arguement, you should be able to use this analogy... I am sure that most people have seen an episode or two of "Antiques Roadshow" or at least heard about someone that had a highly desireable piece of funiture or antique and when they brought it to an appraiser, they had either cleaned it up too much or sanded and refinished it. The appraiser always says that "in its original condition, it would have brought 'X' money, but since you cleaned/refinished it, it has been DEVALUED to 'X' money." The same should apply to the cars (legal issues aside) if they are trying to make the comparison. A rebody should never be worth close to the price of the original article.
