I think it's basic economics that when something is offered as a "limited edition", some folks will try to make a profit on its resale. Chevrolet obviously didn't require the initial purchaser to sign an agreement not to resell the vehicles, so this is what happens. You may not agree with how it's being done, but it's not illegal, just business as usual. Part of the problem may be the build sequence not being done in numerical order, which must be frustrating to those still waiting for theirs to be completed.

But one thing that was mentioned does make me wonder - why would someone purchase a limited-edition, 1 of 69 (or 68 if you don't count the SEMA Convertible) 2012 COPO and NOT race it in IHRA/NHRA/ADRL Stock and Super Stock? I've been told that some of the cars are being modified to run in other classes instead of where they were originally designed to run. Wouldn't it have been easier to purchase a BIW and build a COPO clone than modify an already assembled race car? Am I not getting the picture here?
