Looks like I have bad information Rick!! There is an old thread on this forum from about 2010 that states "one of two, the other being in the GM museum."
You and others would be much more reliable source than I!!

Thank you for posting more pix from before the custom paint!

I don't recall seeing one in the GM Heritage Center collection (presumably the GM Museum they are talking about).

But - the displays and vehicles rotate through. I'll have to take another look.

Seems I've opened a can of worms here....

I found the 2010 thread, but not the only place I've seen 1 of 2 stated, although here it's "Known to exist" as opposed to "Built." BIG DIFFERENCE!!

They had a white L72 69 wagon. Had a COPO sign on the dash - had to educate them about the engine being an RPO.

One can also roll a baseball bat around in between the wheel lip and the tire, for less percussive therapy.

I love looking at these old photo's. Who would have ever guessed the value increase of a $3k car when new.
