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

Whatever you think parts and labor will be, add 25k.

I promise who ever bought that car will spend a grand total of 200K to do the car and do it correct, in that amount the purchase price of the car is included, sit down and do the math on the car and it adds up very quickly. Parts for the COPO cars are not cheap ie. motor, trans, rear, almost entire sheet metal, paint,original interior, X-11 goodies, radiator, minimum of 1,000 hours to do the car @ $50 per hour. Believe me when I say I have sat down and ran a complete list of parts to do a car. With that car you are doing a restoration around a trim tag.

These days I see nothing wrong with a less than concourse restoration if it's for your enjoyment. Personally, I won't ever hunt the rare/expensive stuff to make 'em numbers correct again.
I think the new owner could spend another 80K or so & be very proud of this COPO when all's said & done. ![]() |
