Re: REAL COPO? saw what I think is REAL see my pic
I hate that sorta crap...that stuff is as wrong as wrong gets. Too bad the hobby got to where that became irresistible and even prevalent.

Re: REAL COPO? saw what I think is REAL see my pic
The $$$ are what changed everything... somethings are better some are worse. It is better because alot of shoddy restoration parts are beng replaced by correct parts because the market ($$$) is driving it. Then you have situations like mentioned above and they have come about because of the $$$ as well. It is a double edged sword... buyer beware.

Re: REAL COPO? saw what I think is REAL see my pic
I inquired about the Black COPO Chevelle when it was for sale on this site. Ed was very upfront that the car was missing the hidden VINs and a donor was used.

Two people post that EdC, warned them of a rebody., and yet previous posts tell a different story that EdC was involved with FRAUD. Which is it, is EdC a honest reputable man that accidently certified a few cars by mistake or did he outright represent cars that he knew were faked?
