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 anyoneÃs 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 ??

I've got a couple of copies of ads from Scuncio.I'll check the dates when I get home from work.

What is "a service package"? Would this mean possibly a replacement block? The green COPO at Barrett with a replacement block brought only $38000. Does a $30k reserve seem reasonable?? Also wonder if floorpans or wheelwells have been hurt in any way.

Looking at COPO prices at Barrett-Jackson. No probably not worth it unless it was super special which at this point it doesn't reflect. Also what is up with that new inducted hood in the pictures. Bill, the owner did not say but if it was raced as much as he claims I would think the car had a monster hood scoop added at some point. The owner said the car was not cut up but I'll bet the quarters panel well are knock in to allow for drag slicks. Tha car is set up with an add on traction kit '69 circa he added..... If Brian Henderson chimes in he will have some answers as for Scuncio and dates. The owner has gotten over 250 Email on this car and added that he will not respond back by e-mail. It will be interesting to see how much it goes for or who is the first to get to him and hand him cash and close the auction.
