1969 427 COPO Barn find

[Chevyfever]

Charley, as I understand the buyer has wanted this car for years.
There was a family member that refused to pay the $40,000 and he sold
it to buyer .Don't know if there was an appraiser involved,I knew that
car was taken care of by original owner.

Agreed, had this been an ebay or craigslist ad with contact info the seller would have had people that weren't in a position to buy telling him it's worth 500k just so noone would get a deal on it ,and people wanting the car would be telling him how it would be in a shrine if they bought it and how they weren't buying for resale in hopes that would sway the buyer....being the person that actually gets the car is tricky and usually it just ends up not getting sold because the seller is overwhelmed with all the attention and BS

So did this car ever sell or did the one person still have it? By the looks of the video compared to the older photos that the same guy owns it? Car looks great.

We may never find out, Darrell. You can bet that anyone who posted here 3 yrs ago with supposed direct knowledge of the black COPO Chevelle will not be posting any updates about it.

I was planning on doing a write up in the Member’s Ride forum to share an update, history as I know it and some photos. Please be patient as I am still gathering some additional information. I’ve made friends with 2 people that knew the original owner and his brother very well. They’ve shared some great insight on the brothers and potentially a vintage photo might surface soon too.
The posted video was taken by the previous owner in June of 2020. I purchased the car in July of 2020. Stay tuned!
Thanks,
Marty
