Thanks SS for your comments regarding my black COPO Chevelle. For the record, this Chevelle was restored using the car's original A pillars and dash, along with other original parts. Call it a "rear-clip" or a rebody, I don't much care. There are plenty of old race cars that have gone through the same treatment. I have pictures of the complete restoration I will bring to Chevy-Vette Fest in April. This car was never misrepresented by me to anyone. It is what it is. And I intend to enjoy it.

At what point did the black COPO become a re-body? What other parts of the car should have stayed intact to maintain the car's integrity? What's the difference if the floor, roof, rockers (all immediately adjacent to the dash assembly) are all replaced individually with GM or reproduction parts... vs the same parts being replaced intact from another car the way Ed states? Lastly, how much did it have hurt the value of the car?
