COPO Chevelle - originally Firemist Gold

[RSSSfan]

Anyone know this car? Was repainted red, and ad copy says it was ordered in Cadillac Firemist Gold. I would think if that had been documented somewhere the car would be worth more in it's original color.

It’s always best if you do a search before you start a thread....as it is very common that someone has already done so :)

I know the current owner selling the COPO

Sorry, didn't occur to me to search the for-sale section for the car first. I mainly thought the special ordered paint deal was cool on a COPO, and in my excitement to learn more didn't spend the time to search around. I had about a 5-minute break here at work and decided to slip in the post real quick. Thanks for the link. So the car was originally Corvette Riverside Gold instead of Cadillac Firemist Gold.

No need to be sorry.....it’s all good :)

Now get back to work!

Once again I am the one that had this car restored and painted red but it wasn't a Cadillac color it was a Corvette color of Riverside Gold when new.

Got any pics of it without the vinyl top Mick? It's a gorgeous car but I'd love to see it without the vinyl top.

I do have some pictures of the car without the top. I will see if I can post them later tonight.
