Not necessarily. I have tracked 96 COPO clones auctioned 124 times since 2009. 39 are configured as Yenkos. Of those, 19 would be spotted by those with some knowledge: built too early, six-cylinder or CA VIN.
The remainder pass the VIN test and could fool a lot of people. Many real COPOs have non-OE drivetrain components. Caveat Emptor.
