COPO gets built on Gas Monkey on TV tonight

Dragzine did a blogpost about this car earlier in the year. It was a "featured" car at Barrett-Jackson in August, and hammered away for $130,000. I'll assume the Gas Monkey crew took cash (and maybe a few cases of beer!).

I also seem to remember that Gas Monkey was also involved with a deal to "build to order" some (or all!) of the COPO Body-in-White cars for their customers, but I never heard any confirmation.

For my money they could have left those hideous decals off the car, and I'm still trying to figure out what the reason was to bury the serialized "build-sheet" under the headliner that is never coming out! I guess you needed to have a few beers in you!!
