    Here's what I've learned pretty quickly
    Chevrolet restarted COPO cars in 2012
    In 2013 built 69 COPO cars and 20 body in white chassis cars
    In 2014 built 69 COPO cars and 18 body in black chassis cars

    These are the Gas Monkey/Collins cars
    Agree it's a small market, but GM guys tell me close to 16,000 entries for 69 cars. I just need to find a couple. Since it's non-transferable, anybody not in the lottery is by definition a second owner.

    As Elsa says... let it go.

    Well it was a fun exercise; I'm just not in a circle to expect to be able move the car efficiently.

    Deal was $10k down payment, pick color/graphics/engine combo. IF you had the coin, being able to order a car AND one of each numbered replacement engines would give you really cool package. Delivery is at the COPO facility or have it shipped. If you go up to get it you get a tour.

    I figure it's $1-$1.5k a year to insure it sitting in the garage, with downside risk of about $25k. Then combo of interest/margin/tax expense getting cash together.

    Jerry should have bought it as an advertising/marketing expense.

    Oh, and a cool jacket... for the money you also get a jacket.

    Gun to my head and forced to spend $125k on a car today - air cooled 911 Turbo.
