Re: 1969 Camaro copo on ebay
I can't blame him for having a -1 once you read why he rec a negative. When you list something as a seller under ebay for the 1st time it directly goes to the seller accepts escrow mode. You have to manualy change it to non escrow. Most 1st time sellers, as this guy was, do not catch this until it's to late-after the auction ends. It caught me and I have 480+ pos, no negs. Ebay has been doing some "crafty" stuff like this over the past year that is getting a lot of sellers upset.

Re: 1969 Camaro copo on ebay
OK...at the auctions COPO's in exellent condition were selling for @ $45,000. So what is a COPO that needs a total restoration worth? And the more pertinent question, what does the seller think it is worth?
I would think the car should be a fair sale south of 20k. Just my opinion.... Bill

Re: 1969 Camaro copo on ebay
Ok guy's here we go. I don't usually do this but I did call the owner and this is what he said. "Quote" The car is authentic, it has the original "BE" still in it along with the curve neck, The motor was blown two weeks after the car was purchased new at "Scuncio" Chevy and had a service package put into it. He said that it was the first COPO in the New England area per the dealership. The car was raced allot throughout New England, to include Englishtown. He said the car has a very famous drag racing past. The body is said to be rock solid. The Ebay picture depict a car that needs paint, I asked what happened, and he said that it had race emblem over it and was in need of paint so it was sanded for paint but never finished. The car had the name "DEB" on the side. He claims the name was famous in the area during its day. I'm 43 and I can't recall it. BKH should/could know ??. As for originality he is the fourth owner. The story takes a twist. The original owner is still alive but the new owner "Bill" will not give me his name, he said that he, the original owner, if he was to tell me his name I would know of him if I was into drag racing or followed it at all. Which I do. Anyway the second owner bought it but did not seem to remember when? The third owner was convicted of murder in the '70's and is in jail, that's right, WOW. Then Bill ends up with it hence super low miles. bill said that it has sat nearly it's enitre life. He continued to say that the original owner is pulling together original paper work for the car. Bill insisted that it is original and will double anyoneĂs money back if it's not. Yea! The reserve is set at $30k. In closing he said that the car when new had rally wheels and bright chrome trim. I asked about the sway bar and tach. The car has the 120 Speedo and wasn't sure about the diameter of the sway bar. The interior is nice with full gauge package and was said to be ordered with D80. Well I could ramble but that's what I have. I would have jumped on it today but I have a few project cars I'm finishing up on and was looking for another matching car besides. Bill can be reached at 203-937-0570. Have fun guys. Doesn't appear to be a bad deal if the owner is true in what he is saying. keep us posted if someone out thier in Conneticut goes and sees it. I think he said Waterbury, Conn. Oh I'm lost on the fact that he said the earliest car purchased in New England. The car has an April build date. When did Scuncio appear on the map for SuperCars ??
