I would like to know how many cars Ed has certified I would think over 300. I know there might be some questionable cars but Ed usually only verifies vin numbers. If you wanted a complete COPO inspection he verified the vin, parts and certain main features of the car.
I remember when Vince Emmy was the guy to call about Yenkos some how it shifted to Ed. Ed probably did a better marketing job.
If you read that COPO certificate on the red Yenko Nova it makes it sound like all 37 Novas were converted. Is it possible Ed really didnt know about non converted cars I know one thing the guy that really would have known was Vince but Ed and him I believe were not on speaking terms.
If a car was bought with a COPO cert. how long is it good for as time passes more info comes out, since the net there has been quite a few updates to theese cars. Maybe theese certificates should have been updated or checked out before buying them. Im not saying Ed never did anyting wrong I really do not know if he did or not but there is always two sides to look at.

Guess that answer is on Eds main page on his site. Seems like <font color="black"> ALL </font> COPO.com issued certs are no longer valid

<font color="blue"> NOTE ON PAST VERIFICATIONS

The COPO Connection officially ended its Registry and COPO Verification process as of April 7, 2006. All outstanding certificates and informational letters issued were terminated at that time and should not be used as a basis for verifying any vehicle as a COPO.

Also, due to time constraints, we will no longer accept requests to research information on a particular vehicle.

We would like to thank you for your past patronage.

Shortly before this thread started I was speaking with an aquaintance concerning Ed Cunneen and the reason he stop certifying cars. The aquaintance told me Ed had been sued over a red 69 Yenko that was sold and had been certified by Ed. The new owner had sued Ed thus causing him to stop doing Certifications in the future.

Does any one know of this story and is this true?

I'm reluctant to post this story but believe that when people's reputations are involved the worst thing is for rumor and gossip to lie in the dark. The truth can stand in the light!

Unless expressed as otherwise in the document itself, I'd consider Ed's paperwork such as shown above as being very similar to GM Canada's vintage service paperwork where they're noting what equipment was considered shipped w/ a specific serial number and any other known facts about the vehicle when new...nothing about history from then on or anything concerning the current status or condition. .

SSL78..John I think the point of this thread is to show the other site Global Gurus that the red car in question that was restored by SCW was not fabricated by the big bad SYC Members as they seem to be dreaming...the person who bought the car and the people who restored it assumed it was what it was according to paperwork with the car. Now this info comes out from original owners and no one is discounting it. I don't think anyone is trying to throw anyone under the bus like Mr Lapoota apparently did with half the banner holders. I'm sure the owner of this car will do whatever is right.

I'm curious; what is this "other site" that keeps being referred to?
