Check the stamped code on the rear end. Should be "BE". Also, any sign of a cowl hood?

That would be very early for a COPO Camaro, Non ZL1, Non Yenko Car?

It appears that the car has had lots of mods on and off over the years. The build date is 03A, I just thought that it could possibly be a COPO due to the X44 code 72 and 12 bolt. Is there a vin listing of all the COPO's made??

No, not really. There is a list of known COPO cars but there are still a few that are unknown. You need to scrutinize the car. You also need to try and find out the history of the car. Like I said, check the code on the rear. Check for evidence of the car being a factory cowl hood car.

A few?

Do the math - the production totals for L72 Camaro engines at Tonawanda have been known for years. 822 MN and 193 MO; 1,015 total. With an installation rate of maybe 95% that's 965 COPO Camaros. Less the 200 or so Yenkos leaves 765 COPOs sold through other dealers. The existing knowledge base covers half or less of the total.

There's a lot left to learn and a lot of unknown COPOs.

I know of 5 guys up here who have COPO's that are not known by the enthusiast community. I'd imagine that once you account for those 'quiet' guys and cars already scrapped, there may be less than 50 left to be 'found'.
