Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?

[70 copo]

Calling all Chevelle experts! Question: given two cars in the same condition - one a 427 COPO the other the 375HP 396 with Alum. head option- (both 4 speed M-22) which is more valuable? Desirable?

You're kidding, right??? Rarity does not necessarily equate to desireability, although the production numbers are probably similar. IMO, the COPO is worth 50% more. I'd sure be interested in other's opinions though, as, I sold one of each in the last two years. In this market , however, a year, heck, six months makes a big difference.

Not professing any level of expertise, here, but would certainly prefer the COPO.

The L-89 is the better looking engine in my opinion, but the COPO brings more bucks for sure.

Although not an L89 car, our L78 car would be gone in a heart beat if I was offered the amount for it that I was offered for our disassembled COPO car. It's not so much the product as the mindset of people that sets the price.
