Were COPO 9561's ever produced in the Van Nuys plant?

No documented car has been found.

If one is ever found and documented, I for one would be surprised to see it with such an early build date.

I challenged the guy to come on here and defend himself since he feels we all dont know what we are talking about. I very well doubt it that he'll show up.

I got the same numbers in reply to my email. Along with "I don't know the car's history. As I am sure you know the 9561 didn't have the VIN records like the 9560. I am sure you know the interpretation of the date codes." Damn, LA build? Is it possible? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

So if Jim Mattison said some LA COPOs were built, it is possible but without any other kind of documentation we are assuming that this car is guilty until proven innocent? I have a mind to make him an offer with inspection, I could use a trip to Nevada anyway.

Just ask the guy to send a closeup pic of the firewall above the heater box. The area I'm talking about is the top of the firewall. The supposed red COPO that I saw in Reno still had the remains of the plate that attaches a vacumn pot. It is only used on Air conditioned cars and if you remove the plate there would be a hole in the top of the cowl. The car I saw had that plate. That tells me the car was a Air conditioned car at one time. Maybe someone with a better computer than mine can look more closely at the Ebay pics.

Thanks, Charlie. I will make that request. I am guessing that this is the same car you have seen. Also, after checking the ebay item again, it looks like he may reach his goal of 46K. With the info you guys have given, I will probably just wait and see if it sells or not before proceeding, seems prudent at this time. Thanks! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Being an LA built car and since there has been none to date being found why coulndt one have been ordered with AC. ESP being in Calif!! But then if it were to have been and the AC is gone down with the price
