1969 Scuncio COPO

[bkhpah]

The Reggie COPO just sold for 73,500 and I have been told by all the looked at the car it was a tired older restoration. So 70K into a fresh correct restoration at todays prices would be a bargain...BKH

I agree with Supercars that a person would have a lot tied up in having to a complete restoration on either of these two cars. That is if this one needs it. From what he tells me this thing is basically like it was when it was new, even better, and has been used as a drag car without ever being cut up. He promised me some pictures of it so hopefully I can get a better idea of the condition.

You are right about these COPO's starting to pop up everywhere. I have come across more supercars and COPO's that have never been "found" in the past 8 months than I have in the past two years. However the one thing is that there have not been too many Motion cars surface compared to the others..............RatPack...............

The last time prices of Yenkos & COPOs [not to mention Hemis] got to the levels we are seeing now, many formerly undiscovered cars appeared as well. Kinda makes sense. People see what the good ones sell for, and, think their old beater can be sold for big bucks too. After all, "it only needs a good detail, and some TLC", or "just paint", or something like that.
The cost of a PROPER restoration has become so costly AND time consuming, that, I agree, it's easy to get upside down on a project that , when completed, is nothing really "special".

SixtiesMuscle,
It seems that whenever I take on a project to bring a car to the next level it always cost me more than finding one done currently to that level.
The only advantage I usually gain is knowing that the work was done My way.

the scuncio copo that bob harris owned and restored was sold about five years ago. the car went overseas to newzealand where it still resides. your memory is correct marlin, the car had 9800 miles on it and lots of paperwork.

By the way, on the Reggie COPO that sold at B-J, don't forget to add 8%. That puts it close to 80K, and, it was NOT fresh.
