looks and sounds like a true COPO and is bidding like its a real car just my .02 cents

The car is OK for a clone. Don't take this wrong but who in their right mind makes a statement such as "The only difference on this Berger COPO replica and a real Berger COPO is the price." Are you for real? People making statements such as that are a disgrace to the muscle car history.

That car is being sold by the same gentleman who bought my buddy's 1966 Corvette. You can even see it in the background of some pictures! Frank has many stand up cars, as he is a stand up guy! He would never try to pass it off as something that it wasn't!

Car is WAY better than OK. Disgrace to the hobby - get real. Car is what it is, right there in front of you. No disrespect, but your post was a cheap shot indeed.

As long as the owner fully discloses the fact that a car is a clone/recreation/tribute car, then I have no problem with it whatsoever, especially when it's done as well as this one seems to be. This would be a fun car to own and DRIVE THE P_SS out of. The only drawback would be all the nit-pickers constantly reminding you at every opportunity that your car is a clone. But then I'd get in, crank it up, and light-up those Coker Goodyears through first, second, into third, turn around, come back, and say, "Yeah, it's a clone, but it's one f___ing FUN clone."

Whew--got a little wound-up there. S'cuse me.

Beautiful car. My question is why pass it off as a Berger COPO? No 15x7 rally wheels, no hockey stick stripe, can't tell if there's a 140 speedo, but with only one known exception, all Berger cars were ordered as 9561/9737 cars.
The fact that he put the X11 trim on an X44 car isn't relevant, since it's a clone.
IMO, if I were going to run the P@#$ out of a car, I don't think I'd buy a $100k clone. It is what it is, a very cool clone that someone spent too much on restoring. Hope he gets his investment back

Well, I agree with you ZL1#17. Why does the seller choose to call it a 'Berger' COPO. Is it a double COPO clone? Was a 'by Berger' tag installed on the tail panel? Why didn't he put a BE rear if it's such a perfect clone?
Maybe I should go out and buy all the '68 Novas I can find and clone them into 'Gibb' COPO Novas? Respect for Fred & Helen over the desire for mo money comes to mind.
This years Super Chevy Atlanta was typical of this trend. Previous years included real COPO's, Motion & Gibb Novas. Super Chevy has basically ignored these but instead has choosen to glorify fake ZL-1's, COPO's & L-89's by giving them 'Gold Class' distinction. This year had about 8 fakes, which were beautifully restored, but owners of the real Supercars have apparently now chosen to ignore Super Chevy as there wasn't one real Supercar in attendance.
Sorry for venting but this site's mantra is about historical information & preservation of 'real' cars and not clones. Tagging a clone with the names 'Berger','Dana','Motion',Gibb or 'Yenko' just seems to make it worse IMO
