Re: 69 COPO, Real or Not?
The car in question is without a doubt the real deal. It is a Canadian COPO! I have since talked to Larry, who originally discovered it was a COPO, and he told me when he owned the car, it did not have the original motor, tranny, or bum. The floor was hammered up a bit where the drive shaft kissed it during it racing days. There in nothing wrong with owning this car and restoring it to " number matching". But you cannot sell it claiming it has the original drivetrain. Makes a huge difference in value. When the restoration is done, a man should be up front and say it is numbers matching, but not the original drivetrain. When you start restamping vin's on parts, it makes you wonder what it is they are trying to pull! JMO
