Mecum COPO's - What's your guess?

[SPEEDYB]

i'm pretty sure the Hugger orange car was in a Los Angeles collection in the early 90's
before going to the"outdoors" collection.
A client of a friend of mine owned it and he had a drivability problem with it as he drove this car quite a bit, anyway I took it to my Dyno guy and we found a substantial vacuum leak
which turned out to be a crack on the lower side of the intake manifold that leaked into one of the ports, somewhere I have photos of the dyno session, intake getting welded ETC,
The radial tires give it away.

We’ll have to consider adding that “prototype” car to the registry ��

Same as Rebody Challenger thread, are Vins not published ahead to avoid bidders Googling the truth?
If Auction groups keep their commissions when misrepresented cars returned to sellers, why would they?

Orange copo had clear coat issues, definitely needed a repaint. Passenger quarter was poorly replaced as the outer wheelhouse was trimmed and not patched along the lip. Did not bother looking any closer but probably also needs drop off repair as well.
