70 LS6

Wow, that is a high price! I'm sure the restoration is a top notch job, but is there really anything that special about the car? They made a lot of LS6 cars so it's not really rare. As for a documented LS6 being more valuable than a documented COPO, I would disagree with that. If you have the P-O-P or window sticker for a COPO, you have definite proof of what it is. Buildsheets are nice, but they sometimes got put in the wrong car so that's not 100% conclusive. COPO's are a lot less produced and the sleeper factor may also contribute to the increased value.

"As far as LS6 value..It has always been my personal opinion that a documented, diamond certified LS6 should bring MORE money than a similar COPO Camaro."

LS6 more valuable than a COPO? N.F.W. (IMO)

A COPO can never be thoroughly verified as 100% legitimate??? I think you're gonna find alot of people disagree with both those revelations. I'd take a non-buildsheet COPO camaro over an LS6 with 3 of em... and I don't think I'm alone.

Well again that is an opinion...and I wouldn't think anyone has ever made POP's and window stickers???? Give me a break...I guess you guys are saying that a Camaro that happens to fall within a general body range and time frame AND MIGHT be a COPO, because of that it is worth more than a papered LS6???? Remind me to laugh...

It is only because the majority of guys here are Camaro guys (and you want to have the esteem of owning a COPO)that you would ever suggest that a COPO without any paperwork, just a "hunch" would be worth more than a papered LS6. Just so you guys know..I own both..and would never feel the X11, BE reared, single fuel line 1969 Camaro is worth more in the same condition as one of the LS6's. It is just my opinion...

Nope, I'm saying that you don't need a buildsheet for conclusive verification that a Camaro is a COPO. How many Yenkos have been found with buildsheets? Does that mean they are all "questionable" without one? I don't think so. Oh, by the way, don't forget to laugh.

Greg, you changed your comparison. First you said a documented LS6 is worth more than a documented COPO because you think the LS6 documentation is more accurate. Now you're comparing a non-documented COPO to an LS6. Different story. Everything can be forged so nothing is better than anything else. That being said, a documented COPO is much more desirable than a documented LS6 IMO. A non-documented COPO is worth more than a non documented LS6 as well. But you can't compare a documented LS6 to a non documented COPO. I would take the documented car for the same money any day. Now if you're comparing a non documented COPO with matching #'s, then I would take that over the LS6 because the matching #'s is original. But I prefer Camaros if you're talking cars of equal value. This is my opinion and what I would do. No reason to argue because we each have our own preference.

Just call us nuts, and I guess laugh at us, but we onced owned a 1970 LS-6, with build sheet, fresh 454, cowl ind., 4:10, 4 speed, Red with black stripes, bucket seats, console, all the other goodies including an 8-track tape player. Guess why we sold it? Yep, to buy one of them COPO cars with out paperwork, a '69 Yenko Chevelle to be exact, needing restoration. And, at the time, priced the same. Go figure
