Where is the green "Ratical Rat" COPO now?

[COPO CARTEL]

The original owner was Doug Evancic...he sold it to his friend (Italian guy) in Steubenville Ohio...that guy died and his family had a public auction...while at the auction we met the owners nephew and the original owner Doug Evancic...the car had 4,004 miles on the odometer...and retained its BE Housing only... We brought the car home to Columbus. It stayed here for 1 year and sold to Marvin James of Flaggstaff Arizona. Marvin decided to restore the car and took 2 years to do so. Once restored he sold the car to Mike Kaisers friend from Phoenix Arizona. Within 3 days of getting home from delivering the car to Phoenix ...Marvin was shot and killed by his girlfriend at his home.

That's her mug shot ...sad deal for all. They have a 3 year old son together and she gave birth to their second child just 3 days after being arrested and in custody. It happened last February

I was fortunate enough to see the car after Doug bought it at auction in it's non restored, old day 2 state. This was one heck of a neat Camaro!! I have to agree, I would have not restored the car myself.. It was very cool in the old day 2 condition..

For the folks that have Facebook, Dave McGaffee posted some cool pics of the Ratical One under the 1969 Vintage Camaro Page. There are pics when the cars was new and as found at the auction. I think you might even get a glimpse of Doug Perry one of the pics!!

I remember possibly this COPO Camaro selling and the new owner finding the BE stamp under grease and covering the mark back up after checking it out?
