COPO VALUES IN GENERAL

The COPOs should really bring more than the Mopars based on the fan base and the fact that every E body can be IDed by the vin and very few COPOs have docs.

HUH???

I don't understand your rationale' with that statement?
Yes, a Hemi E body is "documentable" by the V.I.N. which should certainly trump a "maybe" car that someone wants big money for.

You're hanging out on the wrong forum...This is the sYc site, "dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the Chevrolet dealer built Supercars and COPO cars"... and around here a mopar isn't "trumping" a COPO or any other Chevrolet Supercar.

I grow tired of these constant "what it's worth" arguments anyhow.

Not an arguement but rather an observation.

Yeah, I know what kind of a web site it is and the brand bias and I consider the source on those comments.

I am a CAR GUY, not a Mopar or a Chevy guy. I have owned MANY of both and simply like ALL old muscle cars, just some more than others.

When I joined this site I thought it was non-denominational

and expected it to be just what the name implied a "supercar site" for all brand name supercars. It is a little confusing with the BIG "Super Car Registry" but then a web address of yenko.net, which I didn't notice for some time as i simply saved it to "my favorites" when I came across it. Too bad something like that doesn't really exist that everyone can just get along on and discuss ALL super cars without bias.

I simply meant that COPOs are rarer than Hemi E bodies. Although the production numbers are very close most of the COPOs can't be positively identified and every Hemi can. The Hemi engine makes the dif. Without it the values wouldn't even be close. I really like the V codes but in alot of cases they won't bring half the money of a Hemi.

I knew this was a Chevrolet oriented website when I came here. But part of what makes this site great is the depth of knowledge contained in it. Got a question about a Mopar? It's here. A Buick? It's here. Can't find it on your own? Ask. Somebody here knows. This site has probably one of the broadest knowledge bases on the internet, from Tri-5 Chevrolets to ...cough... late model Mustangs, and every American high-performance car in between. And that's what makes it one of the best car sites out there.

My two cents.

Right from the Home page..

"The PREMIER Supercar site

Dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the Chevrolet dealer built Supercars and COPO cars."

....But alot of people that own or have owned these cars...have also owned or do own other brands....

...Hmmmm?

That's an interesting comment to a fellow SYC member. Not to be disrespectful, but if there wasn't Mopar or Ford guys or those cars to be compared to...then the Copo's would not be worth as much as they are. It would be a pretty boring day at the strip.

I have to disagree with you on this comment. I do not think that there is any parallel in value considerations between the COPO cars and any other brand offerings. The cars stand on thier own and what happens with other cars does not have any affect on thier value. What does affect thier value is the economy and what buyers can or are willing to pay.
