The owner removed the VIN (616462)and Trim Tag many years ago, and junked the car. The owner retained the bill of sale, dash bezel, the doors, a fender and possibly the transmission. The owner told each of us the same story, that there was no body and it was junked 20 years ago in northern NJ. These items were for sale, however, approx. 6 people passed on the deal because there was no firewall - much less an entire car. One person considered buying the items as memorabilia, and to prevent a rebody, but the price was prohibitive for that purpose.

About a month ago, I received word that somebody in NY claimed to have bought these items from the orig owner. Additionally, the claim is that the original body was found and pulled from a junk yard after 20+ years even though the orig owner did not remember where the body went. The plan is to restore the car, not sure if it will be done as the HH or factory.

Take it for what it's worth, but beware
The VIN # referenced in this old post was from the original owner of the HH car, which I presume is what the seller in NY purchased way back when.... Wallace sold at least 5 COPO Camaro's, its possible that 2 were black, Frankie recalls the HH car was an X11 body style. Let's see what the seller's VIN is before you go claiming to own the HH car....

Kurt, the HH car is being discussed on FB, but to your point... not For Sale on FB: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...&theater&ifg=1
