COPO Camaro on eBay--beautiful

[PeteLeathersac]

Here's the ad for the car in the upcoming 'Fall Finale' sale in Red Deer Alberta on Sept. 13/08..

http://www.theelectricgarage.com/auc...=25&id=221

Same 'Electric Garage' group offering the car again as previously on eBay and the way the ad is laid out suggests they know it's bogus but have intentionaly crafted the ad and wording to mislead and avoid the truth?.

So what next?.
Obviously not anyone's responsibility to do anything but here we all are knowing the truth and a week from now this car rolls across the block and most likely home w/ an excited new owner?.

Although notifying the auction group as Charley says would put them in a more liable position, could it possibly involve whoever did so in any legal mess that may follow?.
And to be clear, the car was previously offered as a recreation but not sold at the noted 2007 Palm Spring sale..

Can and should we here do more than be sure to clearly include the Vin of anything like this we do see and leave the rest to due diligence as Googling the Vin is now picking up this thread and a couple others that could point out the truth if someone bothered doing their homework first?.

Well hopefully the Electric Garage , does a stand-up job and Sells the car as a Clone or recreation, if not ,.....as Charlie said " lawyers are gonna have fun with this one " I'll let you know how it goes next week.

Funny that the ebay ad shows a 140 speedo, indicating the additional COPO 9737, but no 15" wheels. The D80 was an option, so the trim tag might not have it. Can anyone tell if this car has the bigger front swaybar, or the other F41 parts?

Wasn't there a guy in Calgary selling phoney aged documents??? On Ebay??? Maybe he supplied some for this car???

[PeteLeathersac]

Good memory and great thought Andrew!.
Yes the bogus document guy is Brian Mallyon of Calgary...wonder if he's had anything to do w/ this car or the hokey docs?.

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..
