Re: Possible COPO on ebay
Why restore it back to stock ? Restore it as a tubbed COPO. Put a 572" engine in it and make it look like a 427. Put the big meats on the back. Would be a fun drag car.

[/ QUOTE ] That's what I was thinking too. Day2 COPO race car. But that body definitely needs some rust repair. As for the car being resold as a number's matching COPO, it's now in my database with notes so I'll know it's history when it comes back around.

Re: Possible COPO on ebay
I'm not saying the buyer's planning this and nothing personal against him....but if it is confirmed as a real Copo car maybe it could become 2 cars? . One original Copo car modified-tubbed drag car....missing tags of course but with a sworn letter confirming it was originally a Copo car. . The second car a rebody using the identity and tags....it seems like there's a big market of guys who could care less about rebodys and are happy w/ 'matching numbers' even though it's all restamps etc? .

Re: Possible COPO on ebay
A lot of fast triggers as to what happens to the car. I agree with Charley restore it Tubbed and a built engine and go have fun with it.

Re: Possible COPO on ebay
before jumping the gun on making it a day 2 COPO i would trace every last detail of this cars history. i sat here (on this board) and asked a general question about anyone remembering a 1970 GTO Judge out of Albertville, Alabama and ended up finding the original owner with original documents. the car hadn't been in Alabama since 1972! there are people out there who know the history of this car (COPO or not) and all that MUST be addressed before deciding on the fate of said camaro!
