Beautiful car. My question is why pass it off as a Berger COPO? No 15x7 rally wheels, no hockey stick stripe, can't tell if there's a 140 speedo, but with only one known exception, all Berger cars were ordered as 9561/9737 cars.
The fact that he put the X11 trim on an X44 car isn't relevant, since it's a clone. IMO, if I were going to run the P@#$ out of a car, I don't think I'd buy a $100k clone. It is what it is, a very cool clone that someone spent too much on restoring. Hope he gets his investment back

Well, I agree with you ZL1#17. Why does the seller choose to call it a 'Berger' COPO. Is it a double COPO clone? Was a 'by Berger' tag installed on the tail panel? Why didn't he put a BE rear if it's such a perfect clone?
Maybe I should go out and buy all the '68 Novas I can find and clone them into 'Gibb' COPO Novas? Respect for Fred & Helen over the desire for mo money comes to mind. This years Super Chevy Atlanta was typical of this trend. Previous years included real COPO's, Motion & Gibb Novas. Super Chevy has basically ignored these but instead has choosen to glorify fake ZL-1's, COPO's & L-89's by giving them 'Gold Class' distinction. This year had about 8 fakes, which were beautifully restored, but owners of the real Supercars have apparently now chosen to ignore Super Chevy as there wasn't one real Supercar in attendance. Sorry for venting but this site's mantra is about historical information & preservation of 'real' cars and not clones. Tagging a clone with the names 'Berger','Dana','Motion',Gibb or 'Yenko' just seems to make it worse IMO |
