realistic price for 70 Z-28

George,

See if you can get a copy of it.

As everyone is aware, "Copo" doesn't mean anything but central office production order.
If you ordered 100 plain 1970 station wagons with pink paint and a v6, you got "copo" cars.

The percieved value of any particular copo package varys with its desirability,components and usage.

I think what George meant was that the 9796 is not in the same catagory as a 9560 or 9561, owing to the scope, number and type of items in these packages(contents).

Is it a slam of a copo 9796 vehicle?
I think not, and while no one will dispute the rarity and collectablity of ANY of the copo packages, the 69 copo's are definately a different league of copo than a 70.

Citrus,

I Completely understand the differance between a 9560, a 9561 and a 9796. The common issue is the connection to Chevrolet's involvement in racing. This site is "Dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the Chevrolet dealer
built Supercars and COPO cars". Zl-1's and L-72's were built with engine components to dominate drag racing. You get an edge in drag racing with brute horsepower. In high speed racing - the edge is gained through superior areodynamics,and with the new for 70 SCCA rules -cross-rams were banned and handling and areodynamics became the way to gain an edge to win. 1970 was the last year fo the old factory backed teams. and Chevy dumped quite a bit of money into winning a repeat season in '70 but it was not to be.

The few spoiler cars left are the legacy of this factory effort.

What George said is that it was a "stretch to call it a COPO".

This is not a factual statement as it clearly is a race developed COPO designed to help the factory backed teams dominate SCCA Trans-Am Racing.

I already touched on the 69 vs 70 issue in an earlier reply to George. Nuff said.
