COPO Chevelle Prices

[Keith Tedford]

I've run across a red COPO Chevelle in Illinois for $60K and an orange one in Minnesota for $140K. Hardly enough to figure the going prices. My appraiser may have a problem when the vehicle is done. Any thoughts?

wait till saturday.

In general, how much can a person gain selling through one of these big auction houses? I can see where some people might get caught up in the frenzy and pay more than they normally would, especially when they can see that there is competition for the car.

Frenzy notwithstanding, Keith, these results seem to set the market value for subsequent sales. So even if the bids are insane and made by people with more dollars than sense, the effects spill over into the general musclecar market.

Sure lets all wait 'til Saturday, but as MPO I'll take a stab at it? . Considering the prices and action of late on LS6's and if last week's bidding is genuine on Z16 #1 at $900 plus....prices of Copo Chevelles seem way undervalued? . A decent, real car....even a NOM at $250 and some restored ones at the $500 mark may soon seem cheap? . I feel the same about Copo L72 Camaros....w/ a seemingly low percentage to climbing ZL1 amounts, seems like time for a catch up too? . Values and opportunities aside, personally I'd prefer either of these L72 machines over an LS6, but what do I know?? ~ Pete

Make sure the red COPO Chevelle is not the famous Al Bain fake. Someone here should have the vin or trim tag saved.

Good Call Charley!

You won't have till wait till Saturday. The FG COPO Chevelle
which won best of class at Chevelleabration a couple years back and was at SR6?, restored by Classic Restorations will be on the block Friday evening.

[Keith Tedford]

Not to worry Charlie, I'm not buying, just getting a feel for appraised value when our car is done. They might fool me on a lot of vehicles but it would take an awfully good fake COPO Chevelle to get by the old guy. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Tulips anyone?
All joking aside... given the prices of the Hemi cars the L72's have no way to go but up.

keith are you chris and glens friends in ohio at the napa care center

Joe, I live up in Ontario, Canada. Must be someone else you are thinking of. The latest prices of COPO Chevelles, make it a lot easier to justify a full on restoration of our car. Might just end its life on the road though and that would be a shame. Driving one of these cars was a feeling like no other. I'd hate to lose that. The car just sitting there at a show just doesn't do much for us.
