COPO Camaro on eBay--beautiful

[PeteLeathersac]

Vin 124379N674866


It's listed as Re-creation here...
http://www.classic-carauction.com/auctio...&lotnbr=166

But not here...
http://www.theelectricgarage.com/auc...=24&id=221

And on the subject of V.V. Cooke cars, was there originally a '69 Yenko, Cooke delivered car that was written off when new...or in transit?.
If so, was it Vin 124379N615313 ...or is that another car?.

One auction has it listed as automatic. The other has it as a 4 speed.

Shouldn't an 08D COPO have a D80 designation after the X44?

Then... not to be nit picky, but an 08D car should have the mylar VIN decal where the GM sticker is on the driver's door.

Just two things I noticed. Haven't looked close. I would assume recreation until shown otherwise.

Good catch Pete:

First ad also says purchased from the original owner who bought it new in Calif. POP on ebay shows original purchase living at 1853 Burwell in Louiseville KY. I suspect a non-existent address.

Is it the same car ?

[PeteLeathersac]

All show the same Vin 124379N674866


Both Vins of the linked cars are listed in their auctions and the same as above..

The eBay Vin is not listed but the Vin of the documents shown in the auction are again this same Vin..

Just a thought...

I have an 08C 124379N X44 car (NON-COPO).

This above GOLD car is just over 1900 units after my VIN.

The trim tag numbers on the above GOLD car are around 4100+ units apart, after mine.

Nice Looking Car, though!!!

1853 Burwell Ave

According to what I found, it's a good address!

I would be interested to see where you got that information. Zillow.com shows the closest match as 1835 Burwell.

Are you sure it is a residential address?

The eBay auction ended w/ high bid @ $98,100.00 without meeting reserve..
Pretty strong money for a clone especially in the market of late so if the bids are genuine, it's doubtful the high bidders knew it's not an original car and the docs bs?.

This story certainly isn't over yet...I'm sure we'll see this car again!.
