1969 Copo ?

[Charley Lillard]

Phil you have been trashing the car by saying the rear floors need replacing and then we see what is in fact pretty nice floors. You say the car had quadrajet fuel lines and then we see a single line. You then go on to say it has a big block heater box that looks new or refinished and we are then shown what does not look like an new or refinished box. At this point I don't think anyone is going to believe whatever you say about this car. Can we stick to facts please and not bring some unknown agenda into this ? I'm about to lock this thread.

Charley,

A full year passed between the time I looked at the car and the time Doug bought it.

I told the original seller the reasons I believed the car was not a COPO.

The seller or someone must have acted upon what I told him and made some cosmetic changes to its appearance and then to top it off lied to Doug stating I had &quot;Certified&quot; the car which I did not.

When Doug called me after he got the car he became upset that I would not acknowledge that I had &quot;Certified&quot; the car.

Again at the Good guys (3 years later) in Columbus both My Wife and I were confronted in person with an uninvited Perry insisting that I confirm I had &quot;Certified the car&quot;. This was witnessed by several SYC members in attendance there. This was an ugly situation. Brian H and Arone were there.

The photos of the floors do not reflect the severity of the original damage which was clearly sledgehammer damage. I stand 100 Percent as to what the car was when I saw it. But...Apparently Doug has now located the original owner and it turned out to be a COPO after all.

Fakes are hurting the hobby and I thought that was what this thread was all about? How do you spot a fake with respect to the subject car on page 1, I had experience with the black car and I qualified my post original as not being a challenge to Perry or his assertions that the car was real.. then he posted the pictures as a way to create a rebuttal to my post about the car.

I am Ok with that, but on the same side you cannot make the claim that he does that the heater box in the picture is validation of COPO when it has an aftermarket core in it that is real clear to see.

I hope this is still the Premiere site on the web for this discussion - I fear we becoming too PC to discuss the obvious?
