What was the final selling price? I was away from the tv when it crossed the block.

The disclaimer on the screen is on every one, it says to assume the engines are not numbers matching unless otherwise noted or something of the sort.

Nobody knew anything about the COPO so we sat and watched it sell. The black hemu cuda had options like the billboards and rubber bumper added but a great price. I was high bidder at 75K on a 440 sixpack roadrunner convert and all of a sudden they went to 76K and I never had a chance to bid that I could tell and someone else got it for 76K. Great car for the money.

L72 RS COPO Camaro. Matching numbers 427cid/425hp, M22 4-speed close-ratio transmission. This is a restored and highly optioned COPO. Documented by GM of Canada. Registered with the COPO Connection. The "9561" optioned COPO Camaro needs little introduction to those in the Camaro world, but this highly optioned car is more unusual still. This car was delivered new with a host of very unusual options for a COPO. The Rallye Sport option, Endura bumper, Rallye wheels, and rosewood steering wheel are nearly never found on COPOs. This car also has power front disc brakes, power steering, tinted glass, Cowl Hood and floor console. The General Motors Technicians Guild chose this specific car to highlight for their year 2000. An original painting was commissioned at the time depicting the car entering a drive-in theatre, so popular in the 1960's. Collector's limited edition china plates and framed prints were specially created for guild members. One of each was provided to the car owner and they are included in the sale. "$137,000"

As long as the COPO is real, with some sort of authentication or paperwork from day-1, it is a STEAL at $137,000. Also, the Gold COPO Camaro at Gooding and Co sold for $142,000 (around there). Another very attractive price!

I wish I knew more about the RS COPO but its hard bidding on a car that know one knows of. The gold COPO at Gooding did well considering the color IMO.

The 71' Cuda had gthe worst description you could ever have!! That car was a buy!

All of the ex. Bill Wiemann cars had horrible descriptions and didnt say what they really were and there was some somkin' buys on them.

Was it a deal or not, that's the $137,000 question.

Well, we have to answer a few questions first.

1. Who were the previous owner(s)?
2. Who found the car?
3. Where did it come from?
4. How was it found?
5. Who restored it?
6. Who owned it after the restoration?

Answer these questions and the puzzle is solved. Who cares about the accolades. A CARS HISTORY NEVER LIES!
Also keep in mind, if it was to be judged by a real judge, would it end up at 700 pts. or a 1000 pts. That "small difference" can mean a PILE of money!

In other words, supply this info. and maybe the buyer got a deal or scammed.

Supply a VIN number and the real story will come out.....it always does.

If you are familiar with some of the people that restore these highly sought after Camaro's, Nova's and Chevelle's from Canada, it is extremely important.

Much has been written on this site about such individuals.
