I would bet the car was made from a rust free US body as was the standard practice for clones/fakes in the 80's and 90's. Trim tag was made to fit the builder's vision for his COPO clone.

Owner informed me that he has inspected the stamp on the cowl and it matches vin plate and title. Getting more interesting.
I sent you PM with a name I came up with that is supposed to have been associated with this car to see if it is a "known bad actor" to you.

That is posted on the first page. I provided the owner with a link to apply for the UVIP and he is doing that. Thanks for the generous offer and if we can't get that in the US, he would be grateful if you could get it...

Sorry if I missed it, but I don't see any clarification if this is a Canadian-sold car or not. My assumption is that it is NOT because a VVS search of the VIN would reveal its origins. There would be no need for the previous owner to "swear" it was a COPO, he would have the GM of Canada document to prove it. So it was imported into Canada in the 80s or 90s, yes?

OK, Mark just informed me that this info is only available to Ontario residents, so if you want to do this, that would be great.
Thanks !!
