B.S. car all the way! Its been through a few auctions. I like how they put the trim tag body number insted of the vin#. This is because they have been told the vin# is way to early to be a real COPO.. Looks like there hoping to find a sucker

If that's the car that was at Russo Steele here in Phx last January I know who built it here in Phoenix about 6 yrs ago and sold it as a clone.

It's a nice clone, pretty correctly done, builder said it ran great. Believe it sold at RS originally around the 2006 timeframe right after it was built. We looked it over at the 2011 RS auction and he confirmed it was the one he built. Here's a link to when that car sold last Jan:

HO Copo Clone

Again, I could be wrong, if anyone is serious about it the guy I know could tell you what to look for to confirm it is the car I think it is. PM me if you want to talk to him.

I bought the car you referenced at Russo & Steele in January. I don't believe the car in the ebay ad is the same car. Just another Hugger Orange clone. Ed

Ed,

If you want the number of the guy who built it pm me. He's kind of interested in following it.

The fellow who bought the car at the Quail in 2007 was told that it was a real COPO. He paid over $90K with commissions and taxes. They then ran it at several Russo events and it did not sell. We checked the VIN in January and it was built before Don's mule car. So, we knew it was a vey nicely built clone and paid $30K on the block for it while they were still calling it a COPO Camaro over the load speaker?

Needless to say, I think the fellow who sold the car in January was really disappointed. Ed

I also had a hugger orange COPO clone car. I purchased my car from a gentleman in southern California that had spend a massive amount of money having the car built. The quality of the car was top notch so I bought the car regardless of it being a clone. When I got the car here I only put about 5 miles on the car. Unfortunately I felt the car was too nice to drive and it is a pain in the ass to keep a car nice on the east coast. I brokered the car and we got $79k for the car last year. It was a beautiful car but I still think overpriced for a clone.

Here is the car as it was restored. The car was in multiple magazines, was an Auto Traders classic spotlight car and did have a stack of trophies that came with it.

Thank you all very much for the replies. Yes the auction was ended by the seller due to a deposit and agreed sale price. We will see how nice it is tomorrow. Price paid was clone money he must have just wanted to get out.

Even though it is a clone at $35k that is a whole lotta of car to have fun with.
Heck,does in it cost more to put that car together?
Enjoy it and tell people it is a clone and have fun.
