RS Copo for Sale?

Rowdy Rat · #1 02-20-2002, 05:21 AM

There was a car very similar to this one that was sold by a local (York, PA) gentleman maybe six or seven years ago.

RS COPO... Orange with white interior... THM 400. I don't believe it was a 9737 car or had spoilers though. Brian (bkhpah) looked at the car and is much better qualified to answer that than I am. I know that the car we looked at did not have an engine (and hadn't had one in quite some time).

I'm curious if this might be the same car? I doubt that there are many orange/white RS COPOs out there. Anyone know the history on the car that is advertised?

Regards,

There was 1 RS ZL1 Camaro. Anyone know where this car is and does it still have the orginal engine?

There were actually two RS ZL-1's, one Lemans Blue which I believe just sold recently, and the other was a Cortez Silver car with the the black DX1 stripes. The later car was owned by Craig Jackson at one time, I think he still owns it but not sure if either have their original motors...................RatPack...........

The guy that placed this ad ( www.cars-on-line.com/68chev5581.html ) has been fighting them for over a year. The names have changed but it's the same pile of stink.... There must be some truth in "birds of a feather flock together"

JoeC, notice how it now has a protect-o-plate and it never did before! It's a well built car, but it's a clone. Why can't people be honest and present their car for what it really is. Nothing against Future Classics because if the car was misrepresented to them, they wouldn't know. But dealers need to do some homework, isn't that what they're making a commission for?

Jeff, the bad thing is that these guys know if a car is bogus or not from the time they take it in on trade or consignment. They skirt around the truth by saying "it is supposed to be or from what we have researched" etc. The Nickey clone they had for sale was advertised the same way until it got bashed on this site. They finally succumbed to changing their description of the car and called it a "clone".

There are other dealers out there that get around some of the legalities of properly advertising a car for sale. The best one is "numbers matching drivetrain", do the numbers match the vin, Yes, then it is numbers matching. However, this does not mean it is the "original" drivetrain, only that the numbers match.................RatPack................
