Re: Copo camaro?

Funny, I'd have easily traded that for just about any of the roll cage R7U cars.

Re: Copo camaro?

Even us thirdgen fans don't love thirdgens that much. Not $45k of love.

More would rather have two $22k, and most four $11k.

Re: Copo camaro?

Thing is you can't drive it and it's too dang nice to put it on the track IMO.So what do you do just sit and watch it collect dust? Not me I ike to drive em. I'm with Saxondale give me 4 11k cars and I'd have much more smiles.

Agree with ya! Sit around the man cave and look at it, not for me. I drive all of mine and get "smiles per miles!"

Re: Copo camaro?

Ya know, I agree that I own my cars to drive. -but I'm glad there's someone out there who can reach between his couch cushions, pull out 45 grand in loose change and preserve certain cars, whether it be this one or any uniquely optioned car of any make or model.

Re: Copo camaro?

You certainly can drive it. My survivor B4C had under 12k miles when I bought it in 2010. It now has over 28k miles.

Regarding this car, I love it - but is anything in this ad remotely close to correct? COPO? Blueprinted engine?

Re: Copo camaro?

Anytime I see someone say COPO when referring to a thirdgen, I figure they're one of these clowns that thinks their 1LE is somehow in the same league as a 69 Yenko. Like they figure that using a buzz word suddenly increases the value 200%. I feel that it insults the intelligence of anyone on the receiving end, and makes the seller look like an assbag.

Well, I do have my eye on a 1LE outside mirror wire harness on eBay. Seems like a good investment.
