A shame &quot;off&quot; colors such as Frost Green, Fathom Green, and Gold get a bad rap, they look great when done nicely. Plus, those were THE colors bitd. </div></div>

You'd be surprised how many like those colors today....I believe, the stereotype is just that.

&quot;As I pointed out in the AprilL thread, it has a TH400 crossmember. X11D80 on the tag it shouldn't have a TH400 crossmember unless it is a COPO.&quot;

Jan, when you state this .... is that because if the car came with a big block motor and turbo 400 transmission and it was not a COPO then there would be a DIFFERENT &quot;X&quot; Code on the cowl tag?

Again other dates are good also rear stamping although unclear is a known BE date too.
Being a drag car its whole life it's lucky the cowl tag is even still there!
Surprising someone here hasn't arranged an eyeballs look to make a deal on what could be a stunning FG Copo!!!
Best of luck April whatever way things go!

IMO a very rare Frost Green COPO with a black vinyl top with X11 style trim, D80, and black pin stripes would be stunning. I do not recall ever seeing a FG COPO, plenty of Fathom and Rally green ones. This fresh Frost Green/ green interior Z/28 is a great example of just how cool that car could be....BKH

There was a Frost Green Copo project here in Ontario.
I looked at it but it was too much work for me at the time.
It was raced since day one and the original engine lasted two months.
I am not sure whatever happened to that car.
The last I heard, someone had bought it, started the restoration and then put it up for sale part way through.
I have never seen another one.

I will say ...if the car is in Florida ....we have troops on the ground .....as we speak .....isn't that right B. E. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

I have information about prior ownership (original) that may possibly be relevant to this car, but I am withholding till sale is final.

This has to be one of the all time &quot;jerk-off&quot; posts I have ever seen.

You've been spouting off about this car and now you have &quot;relevant&quot; &quot;original owner&quot; info, but your not going to share until AFTER someone buys the car?

I just looked at the eBay ad....it appears someone pulled the trigger.

&quot;This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available.&quot;

I try to give everyone the &quot;benefit of the doubt&quot; so maybe he bought the car?? If not, X2

First, don't put words in my post or mouth! You are using quotes on words I did not use. 2nd. I resent an accusation of &quot;spouting off&quot;(and that is a quote,by the way)when I seem to be the only voice of reason. I merely have been playing Devil's Advocate, so to speak and looking at everything said from a factual point and trying to bring sanity to the claims. Yes, the car does have some &quot;signs&quot; of its history and claim of a COPO, enough, that I even give it some credence. I am not wanting to start anything with anybody, if anything,posters, here, should proof read what they write. There have been so many things that are stated as it has this...therefore it must be this. Maybe not what is meant, but what is being said, nonetheless. I am merely pointing out, which long ago before this car came along, true proof is documentation at this point. I spent some time researching what I have and found a something that may link a similar car which had a lead to the purchaser. This could be &quot;possibly relevant&quot; if someone wants to or is able to track down this person. I have no &quot;skin in the game&quot;. I thought , I would like to help. At this point, I would only help the seller generate interest (while not against, feel unless it really helped, why not just wait till it sells and buyer may want the info) At this point, it may have no relevance and may not have anything related, that is why I say &quot;may&quot;. Not trying to be secretive, jerky or anything of the kind. I probably should not have even mentioned I read in older publication about a similar car-in Florida. With so many mis-statements by the current sellers, they may take this information and make a claim which I do not feel is appropriate at this point whether intentional or not. I know the sellers are still learning about the car, but I dislike claims that are not factual, By the sellers or anyone else, for that matter and my responses were addressing those mis-statements, like, the car is an original 427 car(prove it), that is hearsay, everyone here should know that. Same with claim about only SS cars come with consoles-B.S. This whole thing is like a circus and the sellers have made it that way, IMO, by not being factual-not knowing what to or how to take pictures and a host of other egregious statements from here-which I am surprised to see. I expected the guys here to be the voice of reason, state the facts, that is why I like the guys here. A lot,lot lot of great talented, knowledgeable folks that I admire. Now, I am being skewered because I am right about all my post and assertions, you should admit. Devulging anything I may have at this point with so many mis-representation, would only ad to that scenario.A simple statement in the ad would have been,we believe this is possibly a COPO by the fact some existing components are present(which does not prove without a doubt) and based on its long race history consistent with many of the COPO cars and the pictures provided as evidence. We no way can be 100% an cannot unequivocally pronounce this car to be what we believe at this time . Further data and documentation would have to occur to draw a conclusion, you be the judge. This, I feel, would have been a factual, concise description that would have prevented the current flames from being fanned.
