I see there is an orange Copo in the for sale section here, i wonder if it's the same car???

Search Barrett Jackson by lot number. It is lot number #702

The car is a clone. See above link and the first picture that I posted...interesting!

Murray...you are correct. i just checked the B-J website and it's a clone. Funny how it says nothing in the actual brochure about this!

Tonight the B-J preview show on Speed did a short feature on the '69 "ZL-1 COPO" and they also interviewed the car's owner. Neither the narrator nor the owner mentioned that the car was a clone. They made it sound like it was real. Nice looking car though.

Xplantdad,

------I can tell you the 69 Motion Phase III GT corvette is the real deal. Have a letter from Mr Joel Rosen, documented conversations with Mr Rosen as well as Marty Schorr, an affidavit from the second owner, older magazines featuring the car, etc. Marty Schorr will be featuring the car in the GT chapter of his upcoming book on the history of Baldwin Motion.
This rare car has been in the same family since 1971 – 33 years ! It’s 427/435 is the original, matching number engine. This particular Phase III GT was used in early 1970 magazines as a promotional car for Baldwin Motion. There are photos of Mr Rosen driving the car. Car has an interesting history – some of the story is in Decembers Chevy Rumble magazine. It will also be on the cover of next months Corvette Fever.

If you really want it to sell the Motion Vette for big $$$ you should fly Mr Joel Rosen in to talk about the car while it is on the block!!... hell offer him 10 g's to come out to the auction......

Considering that authentication and provenance mean everything in the collecter car world how much more would it raise the price on the car to have the builder there to over see the sale??? Would it be a lot more than it would cost to get him to come???

[Canucklehead]

Which company would that be xplant?, i believe the orange copo is a clone.

You have a PM...

The 58 Vette retractable kicked around the area for a number of years. A buddy could have bought it for like $2200 (IIRC), but passed cause it was ugly. Bought a different Vette for $3K instead. Oopsie.....
