Default Re: COPO Camaro on eBay--beautiful

Checking back today Sept. 17/08 for results of this car's Sept. 13/08 auction, the previous links as above by the Electric Garage have been altered and now include the word 'Recreation' also there's no signs of the previously touted V.V. Cooke 'documents'?.

No idea when the links were changed, how the car was represented at the auction or if it sold...anyone from here at the sale?.
Lets hope the Electric Garage people changed things before the Sept. 13/08 auction date and represented the car as the Recreation it truly is...also destroyed the bogus docs!.

Obviously the no-sell eBay ad can't be altered and is still alive today showing pics of the hokey docs but will die out soon and the only text mentioning them is;
"...Documentation; V.V. Cooke Chevrolet, Louisville , KY to Charles Rotell, Louisville, KY..."

Anyone have a way to capture the eBay pics of the hokey docs and permanently include them here in this thread before they're gone?.

Here's an online article that notes the car valued at $150,00 and shows the Electric Garage President...a Mustang guy?!

Yes it NOW does and that's exactly what's noted above..
It didn't say that when viewing the links previously or when it was on eBay and included documents to make a fella believe it was an original Copo car.. These docs aren't shown or mentioned now but can still be seen if you click on the old eBay ad at the beginning of this thread..

Eighty two pictures in the original ad. All are of nice quality, all but two. The camera operator couldn't figure out how to work the macro setting on the two shots of the block stamp. I think it's obvious what they were trying to do. m

I never made it up to the sale , Kids had a soccer tournament, but I contacted the Electric garage on Monday,....and asked about the car. The guy said it didn't sell , was available, and Did I want to make an offer on it ? Well I asked what the guywas asking , and was told that they wern't going to say but that they wanted me to place a bid and they'd let me know !! How stupid is that ,.....anyhow i asked if the guy really wanted to sell the car or not ? Is it a real COPO, I asked ? Now they weren't necessarily guaranteeing it now as a Numbers matching COPO !! I asked about the ad that I had seen for the past week or 2 stating a "numbers matching car " and he advised me that they now could no longer tell if the documentation was real or not !!! He says " He can't tell and wanted to know if I could ?" !!! Well long story short, to me it appears he's got that alheizimers condition a lot of sellers get when things don't quite prove out to be what they have said ? They can't remember, don't know, didn't do the work, I bought it this way ....etc etc etc.....Maybe I'm just a little too skeptical , but It's funny how the ad's have been changed and I'd love to know how they presented it in Red Deer ? Anybody go there ?
