Mecum auction

[Kurt S]

Mecum had a restored 67 Z as one of featured cars. Unfortunately, it was a totally made up car with a repro tag on it. And I had a pic of the original tag. Finally pulled from the auction. http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=14308.0;all

Now I notice they have a "COPO" LS6. https://www.mecum.com/lot-detail/HA0416-242064/0/1970-Chevrolet-COPO-Chevelle-Ls6/4-Speed/
Really? No. It's a special order color, not a COPO. Kinda big difference....

So does the guy that registered the car just get away with this? Does not seem right, especially if you get caught red handed.

Unless COPO gave it a 427, it never means much more value,so im sure that error could be just an honest mistake or misunderstanding of the word. It sure sounds like a neat special order color cloth interior ls6 if the buildsheet is real.

I think it's true some people misunderstand the meaning, but today the term has been sullied and exploited by folks who are only interested in making a buck, no different than &quot;survivor&quot; or even &quot;numbers-matching.&quot;

That's member sean70SS Daytona Yellow LS-6,he bought 11 years ago.I believe he got it from Mark.
It's a 2c build VIN# 136370L172047
I have copies of the buildsheet &amp; photos of the cowl tag.

This is an original NA9 California smog car. It is too bad when it was restored all of that was not reinstalled as it was all there. Ugly stuff but so rare that it was worth putting it back on.

[Mr70]

A true stripe delete car,that someone inappropriately put black ones on today.While so many grossly mis-use that term,this one can claim it.
Black Rivar bench as well.

[black69]

my question above, was not on the LS6, I am curious about the 67Z with the fake tag, as a feature car. That type of stuff ticks me off. No harm no foul? Turn an H into an R on a cuda, and you go to jail. So nothing on a fake Z?
Someone should post the VIN of that car, so when it is googled by a future potential buyer, it gets flagged here. Nice work Kurt.

The ls6 would be so much cleaner if it didn't have stripes.

[olredalert]

----Rick,,,I have always thought that if you got a cowl induction hood you got stripes. The low mileage LS6 black convert out of Iowa was ordered without the hood because he (according to him) couldn't get an all black car unless he got the standard hood.......Bill S

[SS427]

You do, hence the stripe delete if you did not want them. Ditto for the hood pins. If you ordered a non flapper cowl hood you had to order the stripes and hood pins.

Kurt,
nice job recognizing that it is a fake car.

[Jonesy]

The Yellow LS6
This car was in my garage back when Mark bought it. Rick came up and we crawled all over this car as it a fairly original then.
No stripes were on it and I don't recall that steering wheel. I have loads of pics of this car.
The paint code was on the tag.

Its good to know that there is a data base and resource for such helpful information.

[Craig_Maiorana]

I can't understand why someone would slap stripes on this car if was a stripe delete. I live by the rule if it came with the car it should leave with it and vice versa. If it didn't have it then don't add it.

To pull more money, of course. This isn't rocket science.

[Jonesy]

Yep Rick, I remember that steering wheel. That car came straight from Cali to Minnesota. If I recall right it survived the Northridge Earthquake in a garage but had a few dents from stuff falling on it.

[Zedder]

Yep, the boys are right. In fact, Jonesy was the recipient of the car and some mice that were in it!
