1969 427 COPO Barn find

[Craig_Maiorana]

This thing is amazing. Reminds me of Dennis Cumbys car. Obviously D's is a 70 but for sure the same flavor.

Very nice .. I just hope all of the right things happen with this car for all of the right reasons.

Cool car..and a great find...my guess the value of $225k probably has A LOT to do with PGN. Looked at a '70 LS6 he inspected which at best is a $20-25k car..rough as a cobb and no paperwork.. he told the owner it is a $50k + car...needless to say the owner believes the "internet guru," and thinks he has a $50k car and won't listen to actual real world offers.

Sadly it makes buying stuff for realistic value hard when an "internet" guru over values...and then has no intention of paying said value...I often see the same thing in US/German WW2 weapons...some "guru" says a piece is worth "X" but never actually produces "X" to buy the item...just muddies the water for the actual legit potential buyers.

was that the black one with white stripes? I saw it on ebay for 50K and thought that was a bit of a stretch

IMO - all cars rest on 3 legs:

- factory/dealer paperwork

- ownership history with contact info

-certification of options and originality (including body & drive train stampings)

the more, the better!!

The pics are posted under the "COPO Cars" Facebook page. More are there than what is shown above. Looks like a super clean car to me!

Looks like the best 40K that guy ever spent. Great stuff. Kudos.

WOW.

That's pretty nice!

Looks sweet to me. Where is all the rust and restoration needed that was mentioned earlier?

If it really was appraised at 40K I would love to know the name of the appraiser.
