This was the start of the org post by quick-bowtie that was starting to get ruined so I did some editing to the other posts and left the ones be until it started to go down hill

Item number: 4614325303

Just curious if anyone knows the history on this car. I have alittle interest in it, but heard through the rumor mill it is a re-body. Does anyone know the 100% deal on this car?

Although Ed's documents are shown, the description and whole auction layout seems weak considering what this is? ~ Pete

Cortez Silver '69 Camaro C.O.P.O.

Is this the one listed at Corvette Mike's 6-8 mos. ago? This car sits too low. Stance makes such a difference.

It was sold by a member a couple years ago. Disclosed and priced as a suspected rebody.

Suspected rebody? Do you know what made him think that any concrete evidence, was the hidden vin ever looked at? Just checking to see if its worth looking at. I know I should be talking myself out it but a RS COPO would be nice to have.

"I bought this car as an investment and am anxious to sell, as it does not fit in with my other vehicles."

I agree with Pete a High dollar car being advertised as a quick sale. I smell something fishy. Someone in CA needs to check it out and post the findings.

Had the car under me from a private collector and felt the car might be a rebody and disclosed it and let it go for alot cheaper then a REAL one. Killer car !!
The END !!

Same seller had the car listed back on 7/05.

I owned the car for many years until I sold it in 04. The car has great options and really good docs, GM Canada. The question is how much of the original car is still there. I have spoken with this owner,I think, in the past. He bought the car as is just as I did. I bought the car from a Frank M in Toronto. Whatever was done to the car was most likely done by him. At least he took credit for the restoration. I made many attempts to contact him with questions later on with no luck.

Wouldn't it be easy to check the hidden VIN's to see if they match? The heater core one wouldn't be "easy" to check but the cowl should be. Obviously those sections of metal could have been cut out of the original body and welded into the new body if it is in fact a rebody. Has anyone ever checked the hidden VIN's on this car?

[Hylton]

I think Charlie hit on a very big point in all of this. Disclosure - I do not care who does what with their own property but when it comes time to selling said property, you better be honest and tell the truth. When I see someone trying to pass off a cloned, stamped or rebodied car as an original, that is fraud and I have a problem with that.

[MrMotion]

Didn't Thomas say that the donor car was the RS Z28 from Dunnville Ontario! It was without question a 4 speed and the RS Copo has a M40. The floor, vin under the heater box and the wiper area has to be suspect. This trail is going to lead right back to the restorer in Canada if the Vin shows that infact it is the Dunnville Donor. I am outraged that someone did this to a rare 69 Z28.

[Rick Cell]

Like I said in another post I owned the RS/Z28 in 1971 and sold it to someone in Dunnville Ontario in around 1974. I remember being parked beside Mr Motions blue LS6 Chevelle at Cayuga Dragway. If the talk is true of what happened to the Z I guess my hunt is over. I was hoping that one day I could find that car and buy it back and park it beside my triple black LS6. Who would ever think that a Le Mans blue on blue RS/Z28 factory cowl hood, tint, console gauges, custom interior, M22, chambered,410 gear ratio would be used as a donor.

[Hylton]

Is the RS COPO for sale now? This thread was started a while ago.

[MrMotion]

Check E-Bay

[PhilS]

When I was warned that this car might be a rebody I was told that a Z was used as a donor car. I don't believe that is the case. The tunnel is not cut for a stick.
