1970 COPO 4 Sale! Real, Cert by Jerry M #Match!

Does that mean a true cowl good 69 Z is worth significantly more than an otherwise equal flat hood Z?

I would say no. I would personally rather have the non cowl good.

How about the larger spoilers incorporated 69 camaros built after Jan-Feb, does that add value?

IMO, Apples and Oranges. The "short" 68 spoilers were initially used on 69's to get rid of the last run. The 69 standard spoiler was not related to any special COPO order (same with the cowl hood). Remember, the 70 COPO was a COPO. So the real question is, is the 70 Z tall spoiler a COPO? Obviously, it says so on the build sheet. 9796AA.

**Fictional Comparison**
However, Let say for the sake of argument that in early 69 GM was SCCA racing the 69 Z with the short spoiler no cowl hood. Then they found that the car sucked in relating to drafting. So, they created a long spoiler and a cowl hood, and initiated a run of (supposed) 500 units under COPO 1234. After equipping their 69 Z's with this new equipment the Z now preformed great! It wins races and saves the day. In fact, if GM produced that 69 body style for another 10 years, then makes the COPO 1234 standard RPO equipment on all new Z28s. However, later it is found out that GM did not make the 500 they are supposed to, and actually produced only a fraction of that number. Of that number, only a handful turn up that can be proven to be real. One pops up on ebay with the buildsheet and a cert from Jerry stating authticity.

What would that car be worth? That would be apples to apples comparison, IMHO.

I appreciate your response as you are correct. I was just bustin ya a little, and didn't expect a response (I thought that was obvious). It will be interesting to see how the market responds. I love blue - blue cars, that has some wow factor.

Good luck
