For my money, Jerry MacNeish is the way to go. I say this NOT because he is a personal friend, but because in the real world of big-buck Camaros his credentials and "blessings" are well accepted. He is recognized as the "go to guy" to authenticate or DIS-PROVE a collectible Camaro. I know a fellow that found an old race car that has a pretty good likelihood of being a COPO. I keep suggesting that he call MacNeish to verify the car. In my opinion that fee MacNeish charges could add significant value to the car, and if turns out NOT to be a COPO (all signs show it is), then no big deal---he owns the car for about $500.00 more.
I kinda got away from Camaros over the years and concentrated my efforts on my REAL PASSION--OLDSMOBILES. I remember years ago buying some parts from Brauer (Sterling VA) to finish up a '69 Pace Car, and he had just acquired a REAL GM P-O-P machine and tape--we were laughing saying in years people will probably be faking P-O-Ps, stamping blocks, and faking trim tags. Who woulda guessed........................
Oh yea, one more thing, in the Oldsmobile world "F" heads (1970 W-30) are hard to find and very pricey.........now there are more of those heads mysteriously surfacing than Olds made and 1969 H/O intakes are being reproduced--imagine 25 years ago thinking someone would actually reproduce P-O-Ps, trim tags, and CAST IRON Oldsmobile intake manifolds------Oh what a web we weave!!!!
