Just recently discovered that my 1969 Camaro which I thought was an RS/SS car is leaning more toward a COPO car. Car has been in barn storage for 32 years kids grew up and finally have time for my interests. It has a 140 MPH Speedo, 13/16" front sway bar and 12 bolt differential not sure of gearing haven't taken apart yet. Possible the car is one of the 58 RS COPO's. Motor/Trans are not original bought car as a shell in 1982. Do know that the car was originally purchased at a dealership in the Cleveland area. Haven't had any luck tracking the VIN number other than being able to find the original dealer. Anyone have a suggestion where to start? Appreciate the help.

Are there any known double COPO's besides Yenko, Berger, and Douglass?

If it is an Ed Stinn sold car it probably is a real COPO. They sold numerous 69 COPO Camaros...

I spoke to the sales manager at Ed Stinn. None of them were RS cars. They also all had vinyl tops.

quick check to see if the rear is stamped as a BE rear - easy check on the outside.

that will tell you pretty quick......if not BE, it could have been replaced or it is not a COPO

I know a guy that was a mechanic there. He remembers when the COPO cars came off the transport. He dealer prepped them and said he drove each one. He said he would beat the snot out of them right off the transport truck. When I asked what if he blew one up, he said it was no big deal they would just send it back to Chevy... LOL
