1969 Camaro COPO (Burnish Brown)

[hays2441]

I am wondering if anyone has any knowledge of a Burnish Brown 1969 Copo Camaro that is now listed on motorheadtrader.com The car has spent time down in the midwest and is now in Texas. I was told today that the car has some history and may have been discussed on this sight
in the past.

There were two burnished brown copo's that i am aware of, one is a RS and other not. Roger

[Charley Lillard]

There are three.. The RS, the Ca. built one and the one that was supposedly built from nothing but a trim tag off a car in a wrecking yard. I know Wagners had it for sale at Auction a couple years ago at auction with time slips from my old COPO as part of it's history.

There was a Burnished Brown car in Columbus that came out of Reggie Jackson's collection, but it was sold and may be in Texas now.

[COPO]

There is a 4th burnished brown COPO. It is freshly restored and is here in GA and was listed by a member for sale on this site a couple of months ago.

[Mr. T]

You must be talking about Jude's COPO.

[Racefan]

Would that be the one I saw i n pieces at Schonye's shop a few months ago?

[NovaMob03]

Yes, that's the same car. Big difference, huh? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Racefan]

I must've missed the completed pics. Can you send me some? I would be interested to see how it turned out! Need to get mine to him very soon!

[/ QUOTE ]I e-mailed the seller and asked why so Cheap? His reply was that he has no Documents but claimed it to have belonged to Reggie Jackson at one time. Could be a Great Buy for somebody. Or Maybe not. somebody should go look at it at the very least!

[Charley Lillard]

That is the one that Reggie owned but sold as a clone. That is the one that Wagners had. Ask them if they have timeslips from Kearney Raceway. Those timeslips belong to my old silver COPO that they copied off a web site. There is a thread on that car somewhere on this site.

[NovaMob03]

So, there's apparently only 3 known to exhist...the RS, mine(an X-11), and the one out of Van Nuys. C.K Spurlock, a collector in Tenn. owned the Ca. COPO & told me that the dealership originally ordered 2 Burnished Brown COPO's & let one sit in the dealer showroom. The dealership burned down taking the twin with it. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif Anybody know who owns C.K.'s old car?

[ANDY M]

According to COPO.com, Frost Chevrolet in Mechanicsburg OH sold one, as did Indian River in Florida. The one from Columbus was tagged for a Brown Vinyl roof, which was missing. It also had the chambered exhaust, which sounded very healthy. The owner told me had a huge hassle with Mr. Jackson when he bought the car.

[Charley Lillard]

CK's old car is in the Pacific Northwest

Jude,
There is also an original drivetrain brown Copo here in the Chicago area from Ohio, a very late 10D with 1016MN engine. I believe there was also another brown RS Copo in Michigan.

[NovaMob03]

Thanks Mark. I know you're good at tracking these cars but, I'd guess that there might be a couple more out there. 5 is a good number for now. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Charley Lillard]

And there is a Burnished Brown one that Carl Dwiggins used to own that is up in Canada..
