Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro

[Shevelle]

Thank you for the link - I did finally get it to work for me (wasn't the computer, was the operator ) So yes, it is the same car I remember as being sold in FL at a Russo auction and subsequently being discussed here. Would have been last March or April I guess. I wonder if the seller is the same guy (Pete I think it was) that bought it at Russo. Seems like the discussion here was that he was wanting to get out of the sale. At any rate, it's good to see the car is being representing as what it is.

I think I saw the green Camaro cross the block at Mecum, but did not hit the reserve.

So,do I understand correctly that...
..The Silver 1969 Zl-1 is a rebodied car
...the 1969 Fathom green Yenko camaro is a "rebodied car" and automatic
..the Silver 1970 Yenko Deuce is a "rebodied car"
...and the Yellow 1969 Yenko Camaro is an "original body" survivor car...and automatic( does it have the original motor )?

For anybody not already knowing,the Fathom Green, #27 ZL-1 69 Camaro, is a TOTAL recreation with only the VIN tag being original. Rebodied, repowered, Re-trim tagged, RE EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!

Chuck..Since you are the guy with first hand knowledge you would probably best served if you just sent a letter straight to Barrett-Jackson. I know that happened on the white ZL1 before in regards to it's orig engine and they paid attention.

So what was the deal with the black 69 COPO Camaro? It was consigned by Joe Amato, did he buy this car at last years auction? $97K seemed cheap....

Charley, Les Quam offered to help me prepare an affidavit on this subject.

I can't prove any of my claims and I'm thinking it might be taken as hear say or B.S. I have no copy of my old WA state title, no picture of anything showing ZL-1 trim tag, VIN tag, ZL-1 engine in car, nothing............
There are people in Seattle who could confirm that I did own the car, such as Jerry Valentine (ex NHRA tech director), and Dick Tutino original owner and Alan Green Chevrolt service manager (who sold me the car, around 1975).

Only people who know the story of how the the ORIGINAL VIN tag was sold to whomever cloned/created what is being called a REBODIED ZL-1 obviously arent talking.....

I'm the person who parted out the ORIGINAL #27. I'm the person who knows the Original T-400 and 12 Bolt was gone when I owned/raced the car. I'm the person who sold the original #27 engine........however hear say has it that Gus Foster from Seattle wound up with it and or the damaged/destroyed block ??????

Why the COPO connection/ Cunneen would ever give the car his seal of approval based on the VIN TAG only will always baffle me ???

Curious to hear what the current engine alledgedly is ????? in terms of dates and stamping codes.

Hope nobody buys this CLONE without knowing the TRUTH!!!!!

I was thinking the same on the price. 97,000 seemed too "affordable" for a Copo. Was this car a possible rebody?

Green ZL1 sold for 290k? Took lots of block time to get it there.. I saw Reggie bidding on it, but it looks like someone else won..Anyone know the winner?
