Equipment

Condition
#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
The paint and body are both excellent. The brightwork appears all new, and the engine compartment has been meticulously redone as well as the underbody. The interior presents as well as the rest of the car. Impossible to fault in any significant way both cosmetically and technically. Concours restored in 2008 but it looks like it's been a show car ever since completion.
Market commentary
Hammered not sold at this sale in 2010 at a high bid of $110,000, then at Auburn Spring in 2011 for $115,000. Breathlessly promoted on the car card ('if you are the passenger, you are screaming for your mommy') but maybe missing the point when so many cars today have 50% more horses, better suspension and working air conditioning. A COPO Camaro today is about exclusivity and nostalgia, not adrenaline rushes, and the reported high bid here is realistic for this one which was bid to $110,000 here in 2010 and $115,000 at Auburn Spring in 2011.
