Did any of you guys that were at the auction take a look at the Fathom Green COPO Camaro lot S238...I see it was bid up to $90K and did not sell...what was your take on the car. I see it was restored at a shop in Iowa...any of you guys from Iowa know this car?
That white/red COPO was SWEeEeT!...

The white COPO went to the same person that bought the '70 Nickey Z and the orange ZL1 Yenko replica. I rode in the ZL1 Yenko to his shop, about an hour drive. Spared a bit with the Nickey Z on the way. The Z looked great on the road with that L88 hood.

Thanks Stefano...people just not a fan of green on green that day?...I'll assume it didn't have the paperwork like the "Christmas" COPO (white/red) or they would have showed it?...
How was the restoration on the green car?

Both were former race cars. The Green one has a MacNeish Certification, and another real COPOs engine, while the White Red One has an Original Window Sticker and POP as well as the original engine, based on what I was told.


Just because it is an auction doesn't mean that there will be a retail buyer for every car, at full market value.


I bid on dozens of cars and only ended up getting a couple.
