CoPo? on Ebay?

[RS69]

It appears this car was a 4spd. car originally. pedals in the trunk. anyone able to confirm vin no.?

[ANDY M]

VIN is correct for 05C, car has correct front fenders, and Larry Weston is listed in the Marion, OH phone directory.
Marion is not all that far from Mansfield.
There were lots of COPO cars sold in central OH, but I have never heard of this one. Strange that there is no evidence of a roll cage in an 11 sec. car. Hole for cowl induction wiring is in the firewall, and the BB box was probably wiped off for the picture. Need to see the BE date to match with the 05C build date. No tach on dash is correct, they were not installed until 05D.
My guess is that by Sunday there will be lots of comments, as this is not the first car from Mansfield listed on ebay.

Should it have a cowl wire hole next to the fuse box, and tach hole??

This added:
"I also found out the car came Frost Chev in Ohio"

Still no mention of the BE rear.

It does have the cowl induction wiring hole, you can see the hole in one of the pictures of the master cylinder with the red wires running thru it.

I talked to Jim about this car a while back.
He told me what the lady was asking for it and I gave him my opinion based on what he told me about the car. It is pictured the way he described it.
It has the right parts to be a COPO. Jim knows what parts to look for now. The Orange car he sold last fall was a real COPO. This one could be too.

I think he mentioned it was a theft recovery, is how the owner bought it with only 100 miles on it.
Anyone with a NICB contact can find that out along with the dealership.

Also, Jim knows how to ID a BE rear and how important it would be for backing up this car's pedigree. Call him and ask for the axle date code on the housing and the part numbers stamped in the ring gear. Ask for a clear close picture of the posi unit, showing the springs, plates, and axle gear teeth. That should settle the rearend question.

I am not saying the car is a real COPO and I am not saying it isn't. Just putting in my $0.02.

Later.

Im 98% sure it a real COPO. I do not own the car . I do not know the owner. I have not seen the car. My opinion is based on the years of research i have done on the 05 built COPO cars. Im not validating the car. ONLY MY OPINION.
