my number is probably off, but the Yenko is the most valuable of the camaro/mustangs. Other than the superbird, AMC and Chrysler are worth less.
If the COPO just went for 120k, which set a record, and doesnt necessarily indicate a new market standard, I would say a less than 100pt copo is worth maybe 90k. roughly what a 90pt 68 or later shelby is worth.
I worked down from there, and from what ive been reading over the years, the fact that it is a survivor doesnt add or subtract from the value.
Dont forget the sellers premium of 10-15%. A private sale at 60 is like a hammer of 70, and a purchase price of 80.

I would assume with the rarity and condition that it should bring what many have suggested - btw 60-70k. BTW - comparisons with the SCJ and Hemi Cudas is totally off regardless of numbers, it would be like comparing a COPO Camaro (69 or so produced) with a Yenko (180 or so produced iirc)...even with fewer numbers, the COPO is less desireable than a Yenko (still boggles my mind why, but that's the market)...

Furthermore, a survivor car of this apparent quality is worth considerably more than a resto.

You're comparing brakes and handling on a 60's muscle car to a 80's and 90's sports car. I don't think there's a comparison at all. You're taking 20 years difference in technology. You can't name a muscle car in the 60's that will handle better and brake better than a Porsche in the 80's.
