<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: camaromb</div><div class="ubbcode-body">So, runninbear called me a few weeks ago, the Copo is identical to another one owner Copo I know; same color; same dealer, etc. but it's a different car??!! What are the odds??!! He said his dad sold him the car for $3,400, the price he paid for the car new. He says dad is still alive, I guess it's not an inheritance then? I wish I had a dad like that!

I told runninbear to send me a picture on his phone..... no pics....

Runninbear found the best Copo related site on the internet with a new Copo find and then has nothing to share? I don't get it, too busy I guess.

I don't believe the car exists........ another original owner 200 mile Yenko or not???

Like I said, I will publicly apologize if I am wrong Runninbear. I would like to be wrong. We are waiting patiently....

</div></div>
Guess I should reply to this.. I made the mistake early on of speaking with this guy on the phone, who has now taken this to a different level. He is demanding proof of ownership, which as desert rat adds, is appalling. I guess I made a mistake of asking for advice on this forum, which I was leary of doing in the first place..and now regret it. I am not sure why others feel it is ok to try and publicly berate or discredit someone. If someone isnt comfortable sharing info on the web..isnt that ok..period? I am getting called out by someone who cannot respect the fact that I want to keep the car and info private..to me this is unacceptable! Guys like this are the reason I received so many PMs about keeping the car private. For those of you who sent the respectful PMs about the car and info..thx.

Runninbear. I just reread this entire thread, you might also.

" I guess I made a mistake of asking for advice on this forum, which I was leary of doing in the first place..and now regret it."

You got a warm welcome in the thread, you got advise, you got several people willing to help you with pics, you apparently never took anyones help with pics, you read the post of one skeptic and regret posting on this site ? The skeptic apparently knows of a identical car. Keep in mind we have had people come here and tell us about this great car they have and it turns out it is just someone making stuff up for attention. Try looking at this from both sides.

runninbear...with all due respect,you came forward & made this public on here.
He/we didn't.
The quickest/easiest way to shut up someone discrediting you,your dad or your car,is to post what he/they ask for,as well as back up what you say.

Both you & desertrat should fill out your profiles more,at least with a full name,location,email addy.
Otherwise no one will take much of what you say seriously.

I bought a 69 Camaro when I was 18. Prior to starting restoration I sent the VIN to GM Canada and it turned out to be a COPO. I came openly to this site for advice which they freely shared. Today I have a better car due to their input. Furthermore, this site protects countless people from the multitude of scams that exist. Hats off to the dedicated members here and their wealth of knowledge. As I've said in the past. There is nothing to worry about or take offence with if the car is legit.

CanCOPO..Well stated. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img] As for "Somewhere in central Ohio Guy"...(WTF) Your the one that is missing out here. I know you don't like what Mark "Camaromb" told you, and that's to bad. Fact is he has studied these COPO's forever and has tons of data about these cars. He has recently helped me with BDY #'s and other info on a COPO that I am currently restoring. No dought you may have learned something about your car and others build in the same time frame had you been more up front with those here.
When a newb comes on here with the right attitude, and is truly interested about gaining some knowledge, you would be amazed at the info you will gain, and there is a ton to learn about these 69 COPO Camaro's.
And fill out your profile, or you don't really exist. Good luck.

Mike

Yes, Mark is a good guy and knows a lot about these cars. It's great that you've paid up to be a member on this site and we look forward to seeing pics of the car.

Hi Runningbear...is your car yellow by chance? I believe that I've seen pics elsewhere of it, if it is. Either way, welcome to the site. And you are right, there is a ton of knowledge here. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
