What ever happened to Project copperhead?

Just curious does anyone know who ended up with project copperhead truck after it was completed? I love that truck. I included the video of when it was finished and stacey davids takes her out on her maiden voyage. I love the fact gas was 1.79 in the background when he's driving.

Re: What ever happened to Project copperhead?

I would think that's one of the perks of having a show like that - getting to keep the results.

Re: What ever happened to Project copperhead?

The truck was sold on Ebay a few years ago for 67,000. I think I have the Ebay auction page bookmarked on my computer and if I find it will post the Ebay page tomorrow.

1.Not that much.Those shows are to showcase the parts which are given to the for the advertising.

2.Practice,practice,practice,then more practice.I still haven't got it but my B-I-L is fair with one.

Re: What ever happened to Project copperhead?

I found the expired auction page and tried for a 1/2 hour to post a link on here. It doesn't work.Anyway Copperhead sold for 67,300 on March 9th,2009. the auction opened at 50,000 and ther were 15 bids. The attached pic is from the auction page and is the only one that saved to my computer.

For you computer gurus why is it that when I save an Ebay auction page to my computer the pictures that were on the auction page disappear after a few months. If I save an expired auction page with pictures, isn't it being saved on my hard drive and the pictures should stay on my hard drive, right? Does anyone know if Ebay does something to make the pictures disappear?

I have not, but unfortunately it doesn't get me any closer to finding the owner.

Re: What ever happened to Project copperhead?

Some good info but doesn't say who new owner is. In one of his podcast he called the new owner Dale...

Re: What ever happened to Project copperhead?

You may not get any respnse because this thread is 11 years old. But I seem to remember that the new owner owns a trucking firm. All his trucks ,semis), are that clor too. Hope this helps.

Re: What ever happened to Project copperhead?

I just saw what was likely an old episode where he had Copperhead and a clone one and was showing the differences. He basically was using it as an example of buying classic cars as he also had a 1st gen Camaro on the set. He emphasized you need to know your stuff and be able to break down cowl and VIN tags especially for cars that are being presented as a "real" Z 28 for example..and as we all know there are more Z28's on the road now than were ever made

of course, for a completely customized aka restomod like Copperhead, it makes no difference wtf it was originally

I like Gearz but unfortunately its just one long infomercial disguised as a how to car show. I am very familiar with the format.

Re: What ever happened to Project copperhead?

I just caught the new show on MT this morning and it featured copperhead. He went over the entire build discussing all the upgrades from 20 years ago. He explained how the aftermarket has come a long way since he built it etc..
