Just trying to make topic more accessable. I thought it would get more input as a new thread.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.You can't always look at these as some kind of investment.Especially if it's for the reasons you mentioned.If my Dad was around to do a project with I wouldn't care how much it cost.Get it and have a good time.

I always reflect to the old saying, "I did not pay too much I just bought it early and the value has not caught up yet" -or something to that effect.

This was a post from the fellow who bought the COPO on E-Bay. I think this deserves some attention:
Hi folks...nice forum you have here. I have something to add to the 69 e-bay copo saga. I am the person who has the option of purchasing this vehicle. Myself (age 40), my two sons (age 9 and 11 - and needing to do a great deal more wrench turning than they have to date) and, on behalf of my father (age 67) have been looking for a replacement for the copo my father sold (in 1979) to pay my last two years tuition at the University of Louisville engineering school (go Cards!). Anyway, I do not believe the seller is a crook in that he has specifically told me that if I do not want to purchase the car then that is fine with him and he will provide no negative feedback. I GREATLY appreciate the info I have found on this site as it will help in making a decision on purchase. So....here are the two questions: (1) The 30K is in my budget (and I know that it is about 8K to much to pay) but I do not know if this vehicle is worth it (again, have just started looking and do not know the frequency a project becomes available), and (2) if the recommendation from this forum is to not purchase does anyone have anything similar to sell or can give me some insight into where to look? I have just started looking for a car (my mother knows of the search, my father does not). Any help in securing a family project would be great. Info on my company can be found at ics-gsg.com. Again, thanks very much for the help. Eli
