[gymratt30]

Hi, A buddy of mine took a ride a while back to see a so-called COPO project car. I know this is Risky , but im gonna post a couple pics I took. can anyone here give me any advice to that caould lead me to belive this is a real deal copo? Ive been told the car had been wrecked and a new front clip had been installed, the engine is long gone., along with the rear end. so give the pics a look and give me your take to the pics.

I believe a member here owns a Copo with BDY # 293309, 51 51 car that was at the '04 reunion. The Funston car (orange auto) is BDY # 293349. Certainly quite a few Copo cars built during this time. I've never seen a 051 date before.

I have been told that this car was sold at Dutch Miller chevolet in Hunnington WA. Any info on this dealer? is this a "good possibility" that the car may me a real deal copo?

If the front clip was wrecked, most likely the radiator took it in the shorts too. Is it likely that they would have known enuff to replace the radiator with a more rare curved neck one? No expert (but paranoid) - just wondering.

05A im assuming it should be?

i did some checking and dutch miller did sell another copo (hugger orange)also what is quite interesting is the vin was pretty close to this car, your body # falls in between some known copos, really close! i think you have the state wrong on the dealer. your vin # falls into an 05a area. i would check this car out more.

Was the owner ever able to find documentation on the car?

I don't think you can draw any conclusion on the pics you have posted unless the VIN is known or you have documents.
