Re: REAL COPO? saw what I think is REAL see my pic
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] 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. [/ QUOTE ] Is that the Hugger Orange car? [/ QUOTE ] No, it's a blue one! Mark is correct, the black copo chevelle is another one - it is indeed a road of no return. That road is called 'reputation'.

I hate that sorta crap...that stuff is as wrong as wrong gets. Too bad the hobby got to where that became irresistible and even prevalent.

Re: REAL COPO? saw what I think is REAL see my pic
The $$$ are what changed everything... somethings are better some are worse. It is better because alot of shoddy restoration parts are beng replaced by correct parts because the market ($$$) is driving it. Then you have situations like mentioned above and they have come about because of the $$$ as well. It is a double edged sword... buyer beware.

Re: REAL COPO? saw what I think is REAL see my pic
I inquired about the Black COPO Chevelle when it was for sale on this site. Ed was very upfront that the car was missing the hidden VINs and a donor was used.
