1969 427 COPO Barn find

[Woj]

I see the car has had quite a few components removed in the photos, I hope the owner is documenting what he has removed (component dates, numbers and markings). The finish on the car looks pretty good at this point. Hopefully the trim that has been removed will be replaced with GM parts. It would be a shame if any repop trim went back on. Nice looking car.

PS. Very doubtful there is a build sheet, but there is always a chance. There is a good likelihood of a computer card or two in the upholstery.

I think it would be a shame if anything but the original trim went back on this car. Swapping any trim for better or NOS GM parts would take away from this car.

This thing is amazing. Reminds me of Dennis Cumbys car. Obviously D's is a 70 but for sure the same flavor.

Very nice .. I just hope all of the right things happen with this car for all of the right reasons.

Cool car..and a great find...my guess the value of $225k probably has A LOT to do with PGN. Looked at a '70 LS6 he inspected which at best is a $20-25k car..rough as a cobb and no paperwork.. he told the owner it is a $50k + car...needless to say the owner believes the "internet guru," and thinks he has a $50k car and won't listen to actual real world offers.

Sadly it makes buying stuff for realistic value hard when an "internet" guru over values...and then has no intention of paying said value...I often see the same thing in US/German WW2 weapons...some "guru" says a piece is worth "X" but never actually produces "X" to buy the item...just muddies the water for the actual legit potential buyers.

was that the black one with white stripes? I saw it on ebay for 50K and thought that was a bit of a stretch
