Re: COPO on Ebay
The trans was for sale a couple of years ago in OH. I put him on the trail of it, but looks like he hasn't got it yet.

Re: COPO on Ebay
It had a 50k buy it now this afternoon... but I figure a RS/COPO with the possibility of being a 9737 as well... it was well bought! The car will be killer and for right at 100k done... when was the last time you saw a professionally restored COPO for 100k?

Re: COPO on Ebay
Don't think there is any way that car could be "done" for $100K including the purchase price unless the new owner does quite a lot of work himself and/or has some really talented and generous friends. Correct original parts alone will be very pricey for that car. For example, a correct MN engine, dated trans and BE rear all re-done/rebuilt would likely be a minimum of $25K. 837 alt, 499 dist, 4346 carb, another $3-$4K, and on and on. I think parts only would run at least $50K for this car. With a pro #1 resto, I bet it will be closer to $150K done or more. Nonetheless, cool car and a reasonable price that someone could restore over time. Most people GREATLY under estimate how much it costs to properly restore a car especially if one of the top pro shops is handling the work and you want to use the correct parts. Quality costs a lot.

Re: COPO on Ebay
If you have the money and you want a COPO you spend 150,000.and a lot a lot of work by that person
I bet that 150 is minimum you need to spend on the car If you restore it to its former glory. PJ

Re: COPO on Ebay
You have to buy what makes YOU happy. Burnished Brown is not a preferred color for most collectors & difficult to sell. I love the color, but would probably pass on a purchase & resto if I were going to flip it to make $$. The RS option makes this one special & I wish I'd had the $$ to bid on it. Can't wait to see it when it's done
