Looking For Burnished Brown COPO RS Camaro
 

Looking for my dads old car,"69 COPO Camaro RS", Burnished Brown 4spd,No spoiler or vinyl top and no floor console. Bought in East Detroit Michigan at Merollis Chevrolet from a salesman named Dick Jesse. Protecto-Plate would have the name Mike Stivason.Mike Says a guy called him about 6yrs ago claiming to have the car minus the engine and a few other parts and had been repainted a different color. My dad bought the car from Mike several weeks after he bought it new, they apparenty ordered it as a ZL1 and it came in as a L72 and plans for an all out drag car went out the window, so My dad took the car and street raced it until 1972 when he sold it in Roseville Michigan.I attached a pic of the car shortly after he got it and did a few mods. If anyone has info on this car please email me @ [email protected] , If the car is not for sale I would still love to know its whereabouts and would be willing to help track down parts and put it back together, I have been looking for this car for over 20yrs.

I wonder if that is the same Dick Jesse that was a salesman at Royal Pontiac in Royal Oaks, MI https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

That is a great picture!! Wasn't a Burnish Brown RS COPO for sale at that Florida place awhile back? Didn't Black Ties Classics in NJ also broker that brown COPO? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Been awhile.

I do recall seeing a Burnished Brown RS COPO for sale on Cars-on-line about 5 years ago.

Heck, isn't that bad. Just search all forums from the last 5 years with keyword "Burnished". A few pages to sort thru but not that bad... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Search could be improved though. Can't seem to narrow down searches with "Burnished" +"COPO" +"RS" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Nice find Darren...

"price drop to $122,500..." I'll have three at that price... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Do the search in Google... More but not the right one...

Re: Looking For Burnished Brown COPO RS Camaro
 

YES!! that is the same Dick Jesse, he moved over to Merollis for awhile.Mike bought a GTO from him at Royal and 2 yrs later the Camaro at Merollis.Mike told me last night that Dick Jesse passed away a few years later.

Re: Looking For Burnished Brown COPO RS Camaro
 

Thanks for all the posts guys!! I was told that a guy named Mitch in KY may know of a car like this one but i have not got in touch with him as of yet. My dads car was found with a small block and missing some pieces and painted a different color :-( according to what he told Mike.The car would be fairly easy to ID i think with the POP and the welding underneath that my dad did (almost signature) and slight folds to the quarter in fron of the tire for the bigger tires etc..

I distinctly remember a new burnished brown ZL1 on the showroon floor at Merollis Chev. It was sitting right in front of the parts counter. It was no console, no vinyl top. I can't be sure if it had a spoiler or if it was an RS. That sticker price was a real shocker in those days. It sat there for quite a while.

Re: Looking For Burnished Brown COPO RS Camaro
 

There were no Burnished Brown ZL1 cars.
Merollis did have the distincion of having the most ZL1's stolen off of their lot. None were ever recovered.

Re: Looking For Burnished Brown COPO RS Camaro
 

No burnished brown?? My bad. Maybe my distinct memory confused it with a dark green? I don't know the real name for the green; but could it have been?

Re: Looking For Burnished Brown COPO RS Camaro
 

I thought I gave you Mitch Moore's contact information a year or 2 ago. I know he had a brown COPO for sale at one point, but not sure if it was an RS car.

Re: Looking For Burnished Brown COPO RS Camaro
 

Jeff, i seem to recall you giving me his info but i cant remember if i actually talked to him.I have spoke to many over the years and never kept notes.I will try to keep notes this time in hopes of not bothering the same ppl with the same ole questions.Thanks again for your help, its you guys that keep my dreams of finding the ole girl alive!!

M Moore has the brown RS COPO that went to Arizona in trade toward a yellow ZL1. It sold a couple years ago. The seller was S Brewski.

Not quite all - #11 was recovered a year or so later and has been in Ohio since.

Re: Looking For Burnished Brown COPO RS Camaro
 

Thanks Charley!!, i know Mr Brewski's car he contacted me several years back and we discussed it. His car is gorgious to say the least but unfortunately for me its not my dads car https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif however i at least have the answer as to whether Mitch's car could be the one. Thanks again,
Ken

This thread is 6 years old. Someone may want to actually email him directly rather than posting on here. Doesn't really seem like he's been on here much since then.
