How can you lose credibility by flushing out a rebody?

So, you are right, you won't lose credibility for flushing out a rebody. EdC actually performed the rebody on that Deuce. That car is a 20k mile, forest green, 307 with a/t, from Jersey City, NJ.

Re: REAL COPO? saw what I think is REAL see my pic
Excuse me if I'm totally wrong but I thought there was a certain '69 Nova involved in the foolishness?.

Re: REAL COPO? saw what I think is REAL see my pic
COPOs are way to easy to clone. The ONLY way they can be verified as the real thing is with OE VIN-stamped drivetrain or genuine factory documentation.
A BE axle doen't mean a thing. I have had a couple of them; several others have been sold.

Re: REAL COPO? saw what I think is REAL see my pic
The case in litigation is a Nova, not a COPO Nova either. William is right though, the COPO Camaro's are hard to doc - which is why many of the most knowledgeable people don't do cert's!
There is a Yenko Camaro that was cert'd by EdC - turned out there were two of them, and he cert'd the wrong one that was missing a trim tag and a vin on the f/wall. That's in litigation right now too. Last year was a messy year, I can see why he hung it up.

Re: REAL COPO? saw what I think is REAL see my pic
I saw the low mile 307 Nova that disappeared and the fresh silver restored Deuce that appeared. When asked about the beautiful original subframe in the Deuce the response was "its from the green car". When asked about the rest of the green car I was told "we had to use some other parts". Like the whole part I guess!
Its very hard to hide the truth, especially in this hobby. Once you go down that road there's no turning back. Also, be on the lookout for the newly re-restored black Copo Chevelle, another "oops I did it again" story! Mark
