1969 427 COPO Barn find

Agreed, had this been an ebay or craigslist ad with contact info the seller would have had people that weren't in a position to buy telling him it's worth 500k just so noone would get a deal on it ,and people wanting the car would be telling him how it would be in a shrine if they bought it and how they weren't buying for resale in hopes that would sway the buyer....being the person that actually gets the car is tricky and usually it just ends up not getting sold because the seller is overwhelmed with all the attention and BS

Sadly it makes buying stuff for realistic value hard when an "internet" guru over values...and then has no intention of paying said value...I often see the same thing in US/German WW2 weapons...some "guru" says a piece is worth "X" but never actually produces "X" to buy the item...just muddies the water for the actual legit potential buyers.

was that the black one with white stripes? I saw it on ebay for 50K and thought that was a bit of a stretch

the one he did a video on? atleast that one had its engine and what not the black one I believe had a warranty block and was real rough

[1903USMCUnertl]

yes that is the one...car is real...but also missing a lot of dated stuff and needing a lot of body work...plus no docs...had a BS, but sadly sheet was destroyed by water and being left on the car..nothing left..

So did this car ever sell or did the one person still have it? By the looks of the video compared to the older photos that the same guy owns it? Car looks great.

We may never find out, Darrell. You can bet that anyone who posted here 3 yrs ago with supposed direct knowledge of the black COPO Chevelle will not be posting any updates about it.

I was planning on doing a write up in the Member’s Ride forum to share an update, history as I know it and some photos. Please be patient as I am still gathering some additional information. I’ve made friends with 2 people that knew the original owner and his brother very well. They’ve shared some great insight on the brothers and potentially a vintage photo might surface soon too.
The posted video was taken by the previous owner in June of 2020. I purchased the car in July of 2020. Stay tuned!
Thanks,
Marty
