Possible COPO on ebay

[SuperNovaSS]

How does a dual exhaust plate that is welded to the frame disappear?

The Tubbing maybe?

Say what you will, but based on what I see and what Leo has come up with, there's enough evidence to warrant a closer look. If the cowl induction piercings are original, and the tags haven't been messed with, an X44 with original cowl induction can be a real good clue, as the only way an X44 could have had factory C.I. is if it was a COPO. Add to that the big block heater core, the 309 master cylinder, the fact its 10 numbers away from a known COPO, and you have quite a few things that point in the right direction. Yeah, it would be great if there was a stack of original paperwork, and "documentation" but usually thats not gonna be there on a ratty old car, so you gotta look for all the right clues that are still there. If anyone's near Eastlake Ohio and has some $ to play with, this is definitely worth a closer look and could very well be the real deal. If everything looks right, it could be another real COPO car found for a price that is within reach for someone. JMO.

I would have to agree with Joe on this call. Most of the COPO camaros were bought with the intension of racing... Some cars were lucky and not cut on, but some cars were successful in racing and updated so they could go faster... This car has some interesting points and knowing it was built 10 cars away from a documented COPO raises an eye... I just hope this doesn't get as bad as it did with that Yenko car a year ago or so... Good luck to whoever ends up with that ratty "POS".. I just love how they mounted the guages in the car!!!

hmmmmmmm Four body #'s off the other Funston Chev sold COPO. Not saying it is either, but like Joe says. Worth taking a look! If you can get it cheap, it could get interesting!

Getting it cheap now is probably out of the question! Once you make it public to the 5 billion people on this board the chance of getting a deal is lost. It's sad because you probably could of had the car for $5K if you didn't go public with the info and let the owner know what he "potentially" has.

I guess we didn't learn anything from the Yenko fiasco in upstate NY... Thanks for thinking of the little guys.

Ah come on Mike you don't have $20k laying around for the purchase and another $100k plus for the restoration? Doesn't everybody have that kind of money to blow on a pile of iron oxide?

You can think of this in two ways. One, somebody might, repeat MIGHT get a great deal on a possible COPO or two, someone will get a good screwing, excuse me a good lesson on how not to buy a car.

A $200k car for $20k or a $1000 car for $20k. Crap shoot on this one.

One question I have, has anybody seen a picture of the cowl induction piercing? Reason I ask is because I wonder were he ran the plumbing for those monster gauges? Obviously not through the factory auto speedo hole because it still has a plug in it. Would like to see the hole they went through and the cowl induction piercing.

p.s. Still think it will not sell. To much interest.

Pardon me for not being greedy.
