I did some more checking on the "verification" of the car and wanted to post this to eliminate any possible misunderstandings.

IMO: The car is a true COPO based on the info that I have dug up, but the listed engine is a restamp.

Mr. Lopata did not verify it, nor have any personal knowledge about this car or its originality.

I haven't had a chance to call and see if Ed verified the originality of the car. I didn't see the VIN on his list.
It is close to a few other Hugger Orange cars on the list.

He also used Ed's name when referring to the verification of the car.

[Belair62]

I would think he would like to have that rear and original; block before he talks verification...I sure would. Ed won't have much to look at..

[COPO]

As the drivetrain is gone the Body # on the Trim Tag will likley tell if it is legit as it will probably be in sequence with others ordered from this dealership in the same batch.

[69L72RS]

I have been informed by one of his interested buyers that he is now stating that I restamped my block to match the car after I saw the Ebay auction.

By saying that, isn't he commiting fraud and defamation of character offenses?

Would it make me a jerk to list the engine on Ebay right next to his auction?

That sounds like a great idea....show a great pic of the engine stampings..Put a 100K reserve and mention that whoever buys the car should contact you for the orig engine.

I would do it. What this man is doing is absolute .

[COPO]

Great idea Charley. What a prick.
