I mean one post from someone said, I dont think we should put it in the registry. So sounds like its not considered a real copo car? i wonder how john cena bought it if it wasnt a real deal car for 175 grand? I saw something saying in 2017 from mecum it sold for 62,500. I mean how can this be? Also is the pic posted of the block and date code/VIN considered restamps? Looks to me like you can see the broching? any way someone might give me a call and discuss this more with me? it would mean the world obviously, cause I dont wanna buy a car thats not 100% legit. I thought it all checked out, but Im no expert on copos, so I needs some schoolin!! lol Thanks man

The first COPO's were built at Norwood. This car has major component parts that are either timeline incorrect, are restamps, or production non-existent when compared to the physical build date of the car.

I wrote the book on the Norwood plant and interviewed the guys who were involved with the COPO programs at the beginning of production.

This particular car is better described as a tribute or a recreation.

I hope this helps you in understanding the car.
