Re: COPO Convertible
REDZ has the story down pretty good. I saw it at Milton's quite some time ago. It was the real deal. Not sure if you would call it a COPO though; what COPO number would it be? More of a situation where one of the Bosses, Pete Estes walks in the plant and tells the boys: "I want this type of car built".
Milton got it at the auction as said above. Later Milton sold it to Rich Steele in Chicago. Rich had it for a year or so; tried to get me to trade a 70 Hemi-Cuda Convertible I had. He eventually traded it to Al Maynard for a 69 Z28, a Hemi motor, and a 63 Z06 Big Tank Vette with set of GM Gear Drive Hub Knock-offs. I did end up buying the 63 Z06 Big Tank Vette from Rich Steele after that. The Z28 Convertible was always priced higher than I thought it should've been. I knew it was one-of-kind, but it just didn't do much for me, especially with the price tag that was on it.
