Equipment
COPO L72 427, power steering, power brakes, SS wheels with redline tires, bucket seats, center console, radio delete, Jerry MacNeish certified.
Condition
Represented as a “period-correct” engine but the configuration corresponds to the supplied build sheet.. Good paint overall with some swirling in the finish under direct light. The brightwork presents extremely well. The engine compartment shows the age of the restoration with decals peeling up at the edges and dirt at the lower part of the engine block. The interior appears to be completely redone with no major items to pick on. An older restoration that presents little use.
Market commentary
One of two rare COPO Chevelles offered at Barrett-Jackson on Saturday, this was a good car overall, but just failed to perform selling around #4 value for a very good example. This one has us scratching our heads since the other example sold right where expected. Maybe perspective bidders were too busy refilling their drinks, or something else was up with this car, either way the low sale here missed the mark. COPO Camaros are almost commonplace at auctions but COPO Chevelles are exceptionally rare.
