It's interesting that GM management missed the boat while copo's were used to beat the system on the 400 rule they shut the door on money to be made, mean while Dodge&Plymouth in the late 60's made no bones about what you could have as a hi-po ,and they did sell a lot of them
We will never know how many more hi-po cars Gm could have sold

You will see COPO (Central Office Production Order) on page III in the front of the Chevelle/MonteCarlo parts catalogue #P014. Prior to 1967 it was called the CSL or Canadian Special List. At least that what shows up in the Canadian parts catalogues. COPO was never hidden, just unimportant until recent years. There is/was a COPO catalogue available. Wow! I bought one. There wasn't one thing in there about any of the stuff that we were interested in. Lots of the truck stuff that we wouldn't be interested in.

I would equate COPO's with Hemi Darts and the like.I doubt they made much money,if any,on those cars and volume was pretty low too.

I seem to remember reading an article about a COPO Nova that was ordered with Plymouth Plum Crazy paint on it for a zone rep. I will try to dig it out, but I bet it's one of the rarest COPO orders!
