COPO....Now And Then
 
4 Attachment(s)
I was at the Philadelphia Auto today and saw a new COPO and a 1969 COPO on the same display. I love the new cars but man the old stuff sure looks great.

If you you had to choose, would it be old or new?

I don't know who owns the new car or if it will be raced, no one was around to talk to about the car. The picture below is what was next to the new COPO. I assume it’s a museum only car, but not sure.

I would always take the 1st gen Camaro over any new one Ken. The new cars might be have all the new whiz bang stuff but the character of the 1st gen cannot be beat.

I would rather have the old one ,but for racing i would take the new one because i would not be afraid to race it..The old one would be a great museum or stored piece of history and will always increase in value.......(investment).... I don't think the new ones will hold value( or increase value ) as the old ones have (including Mopar and Ford )..

So far the auto world has proven you to be wrong as several new COPO's have sold at auction for more than 50k over what they were purchased for only a few months ago .....pretty good return on investment I'd say .

I also think it's too soon to tell. I bet those 1969 COPO cars went pretty cheap by the mid 1970's. It takes a while to see price appreciation.

Either one!
I would then sell it and use the money to buy a (real) '67 GT500.
