Default Re: 1969 silver COPO 1700 miles at Barrett-Jackson

Still sick to my stomach that it sold so cheap had way more than that into it and turned down a lot more money then that prior to consigning! It was one of the best bodied Camaros that I have every owned or seen. 100% rust free and original sheet metal and never hit, original hidden vins and trim tag. As for miles I usually agree it doesn't matter once they are restored but this car retained all of its original interior (except dash pad) and was MINT MINT! Jerry said he had never seen a better original interior, also all the wiring etc under the dash was original and looked like it just rolled off the assembly line. Sure it was restored but its not like it was full of cheap twain crap. Still had all of its original chrome and glass, lights bezels etc. when we striped it you could see all the factory grease markings under the hood and original inspection stamps. All dated correct engine components and trans with original BE rear.

It was an auction and that's the way it goes I knew going in it was risky but thought someone besides Rick Hendricks would appreciate it. It was by far one of the better COPO's to be offered in recent years and was an absolute steal. Im kicking myself for not buying it back. Live and learn I guess
