Re: COPO Camaro - before & after pictures
I think you did the bright thing restoring that car back to stock. If that car had been a more significant race car, then I might have a different opinion. Old "bracket" cars (IMO) just don't have the following or popularity of an old "class" car. I own an old "stocker" that is un-restored (yes the one in my signature photo) and was raced locally by the dealership my family has a long association with. It seems that when I show the car I get quite a bit more attention than the other nostalgia cars that were not "class" cars or current builds that are done to "appear" nostalgic.
I'm sure that car was important to Tim Phillips and his friends and family, but in the big picture, a Super Pro '69 Camaro isn't nearly as collectible as a Cortez Silver Berger COPO.
