are you saying there were 51 built not 50 of the COPO 9738 Chevy II?

any documentation or is it just hearsay?

A lot of documentation shows 50 built including a letter to NHRA from Chevy's Paul Prior and Vince Piggins and all of Fred Gibb's info including his vin list.

Information came from Dale Berger.

Sad to report the new owner plans on having the car painted and installing a/c on it. This is an Original Paint car. This pains me.

I have tried to explain how truly rare the car is to the current owner; great original paint, original owner car, original drivetrain,interior, etc. It is truly one of only a few Yenko Camaros in this condition. The buyer appreciates the rarity and paid for it but I really hope it does not lose the originality that really makes it one of a kind. It would be a shame to see such a great original car completely restored.

This is disturbing. There were cheaper restored cars he could have purchased. I hate when the &quot;wrong buyer&quot; gets a special car. I am sick.

WOW...that's like buying the MonaLisa and having some paint work done so she has short hair cause you prefer chics with short hair...yikes...this is like a whole new category of S................upercar [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

If he wants a unique Supercar to install A/C on I'll offer him up my 1 of 1 COPO as trade....eeek.
