Did the appraiser value it at anywhere near the supposed 40 sales price ? If so I think I would go after the appraiser.

Would you really blame him for not sharing it with the site? Hes been called every name in the book, the car has been said to have rusty quarters and needing restoration when one of the only people that claims to know the car well says it isnt so.....sounds to me like a few people here that gloat and welcome all the praise when they find a similar car are just upset they didnt get this one,and feel the need to discredit this great find to ease thier pain of not finding it themselves ,and that is the real shame ....I would have loved to find it myself,but I'm still excited for the new owner unless he bought the car from the seller under duress or force or if an appraiser was in cahoots with the buyer .....

I was told by the father /son folks that went to look at it that the car was for sale at 225k and that the gentleman turned down 175k. The appraiser should be the one that is scrutinized IMHO. Karma does come back around. I have never bought a Chevelle ..so I was never an interested party to this car. Pointing out flipping a car for 6x it’s purchase price is worth noting ...especially with potential buyers from this site. Knowledge is a powerful thing and playing ignorant when selling parts or cars that are not as described is wrong. After the smoke clears I am sure this quality caliber car will find a good home and be well taken care of in honor of the original owner.

So what am I missing here???

Unrestored COPO Chevelle, guy buys for for $40K, turns down $175K because he wants $225K?

Know I will admit I'm not up with these unrestored cars and YES I know there only original once. But from what I saw, I didn't think it was worth the $175K?? Legendary has one:

https://www.legendarymotorcar.com/in...copo-1693.aspx

Fully restored and I figured there on the high side for COPO Chevelle being that there Legendary Motorcar, and there asking $169,9K?? I was thinking this car would be "MAYBE" in the $125K range if the paperwork was there that Sean stated could be questionable?

So what is it that makes this car SO much more?
