burnish brown copo on camaros.net

Total BS, I know the shop that painted the car and they and my buddy who last owned the car never got around to the stripes.
The original fenders are still in my friends storage and I even got some shots of the stripe for my own referance. And they are very close to what is in the assy manual.
I am not at home so I cant post a picture, had the new buyer actually seen the old stripes they would never messed up that bad. Truth be known, most guys looking at that car over at the B-J Auction do not know any differance !
All in all the car is a stand tall, quality, #'s Double COPO, we just are not sure where the car came from. For a long time it was thought the car my have come from Canton, based on stories of guys remembering such a car around town.
Also Rick, do you remember the guys name that was with the car at Carlisle ?
On a side note, upside down cowl induction seals and Ford "Caution Fan Decals" are running about 2 to 1 over at Barrett Jackson. Amatures ! Sorry it is one of my peeves.

I knew they were wrong and I didn't buy his story either. Bowtie is NOT where this car should have been judged. Bowtie is for correctness but not the level as Vintage or Legend. Bowtie checks for correct color, interior and other parts of the car based on the trim tag. Also if the owner states it a certain car, SS, RS, etc. we check the engine stamp to ensure it's correct for the car. There are a lot more other areas as well.

I would not use Bowtie judging as a basis for validating this car for resale. For the money this car will bring that should have been validated at a higher level.

I don't remember the owners name but do know that he was very defensive when it came to certain questions regarding the pedigree of the vehicle.

And again, I never saw any paperwork to back up the car. I'm not saying the car isn't because what we checked said it was a COPO. Never saw a window sticker either. Hmm.

I fell the same about Caution Fan stickers as I do about rear spoilers on 1967 Camaros. They don't belong there.

The original motor for the brown double Copo N665765 was for sale in Hemmings years ago. Obviously it made it back with the body. Mike, how long did Don C. own the car?
