feb. 71 copo

[owners2]

hey guy's thought you would like to see my feb. 71 copo z28. as i stated in an earlier forum it has 16,354 miles & 85% of it's original paint. i also have lot's of documentation . the owner was one of my dad's friends who bought the car new & turned it into a race car. he said the car was ordered in jan. but because he got the tall rear spoiler & the custom cloth interior he didn't recieve the car till march 12th.the door sticker states feb. 71. i've been wanting this car since i was about 14 years old ,i'm now 38 & persistance & lot's of money finally paid off.

Hi, and welcome to the SYC. If your car is a 1971, and it has the larger spoiler in the back and the spoiler in the front then your car was equipped with RPO D-80. For 1971 the Z-28 got the short 1 pc rear spoiler standard and the previous COPO 9796 was retooled to fit better and became RPO D-80 and for 1971 included both front and rear spoliers.

RPO= Regular Production Option.

Here is the main Public relations Photo set from the 1971 Camaro roll out.

COPO 9796 became avalible on April 26, 1970. but due to quality problems production did not get going until late May.

At the end of the 1970 SCCA season, Chrvrolet got out of SCCA Trans-Am Racing but liked the appearance of the old COPO Spoiler Package, so it then then became RPO D-80 and optional on any 1971 Camaro.

In 70 the Short 1 pc spoiler was RPO D-80.

The short 1 pc spoiler was standard with Z-28 in 1971.

For '71 RPO D-80 was an improved version of the last varient of old COPO 9697 package and consisted of both the front and real spoilers and was vastly improved in fit and appearance.

By 72 the short 1 pc spoiler was disco, and RPO D-80 was the only spoiler you could get.

Hope this helps. Please post pictures of your car. We would like to see it.

70 copo ,send me your e-mail & maybe you can get the pictures loaded to the site for me. as for our discusion on the copo spoiler mad mike @ second gen. group e-mailed me a while back & his exact words were that the tall spoiler was not standard option till sometime in april of 71, therefore if your cars build date is earlier it is a copo or some sort of dealer override order. many other camaro sites state that the copo option 9796 was available till mid year of 71 when it replaced the small spoiler.i have personally owned 4 norwood built 71 z28's early year model cars & also just purchased another rs z28 norwood built jan. 71 & it has a small spoiler just like all the early year cars i seem to run into.thanks jeff

I had a 71z that was delivered 12/1/70. I still have the original POP and window sticker for the car. It had the tall spoiler on it. The window sticker shows D80 Air Spoiler Option.

I'm confused, I thought this car was a 1971 and the spoiler was an RPO in '71 not a COPO??

You are correct COPO..Chuck may have misread it.

Discussed on page 1 of this thread. RPO D-80 is correct.

Thanks for the positive feedback on my car. As for future plans, I'm leaving it as is for now. I'm not going to put it back to factory original.
In response to the earlier comments about the rear spoiler, the tall 3-piece did not replace the 1 piece until April 1971 (my car was built in February 1971). The following comes from an email between Mad Mike and myself discussing the subject.
"...Prior to to April 1971, the tall spoiler had to be requested, most easily, via the COPO 9796 to insure the correct spoiler went on the car, otherwise GM would have slapped whatever was in the bin on the car (the 1-piece spoiler). Since it was requested, the build sheet might give this away. It would still say D-80, but the code in the specific box may indicate the COPO number, or it may be hand written on the sheet to put the other spoiler on. GM knew what COPO 9796 was, it didn't expire just because 1970 ended. After April 1971, it became unnecessary and irrelevant (RPO D-80, regular production order). Prior to that, if someone wanted the cool tall spoiler, all someone had to do was drop the COPO number, and it would start ringing bells. Without the build sheet, it is impossible to prove or disprove anything, since anyone with a drill could install a spoiler."
This should clear up any confusion.

pulled the car out of storage this weekend.will gut the interior this week to look for a build sheet.did pull the drivers corner spoiler off & there was no paint under it just a grey looking primer or sealer of some sort ,sanded a small spot & red oxide was under it. also does anybody know of an option or code for having gold drip rail moldings.

[owners2]

noticed the corner spoiler i took off has a diamond shaped insignia with the letters AOS & what looks like a numerical number 1 under it then it say's LT.3990475. got the pre-delivery sheet & it states options & say's AIR SPOILER. Gutting the interior today to look for a build sheet.

I do not think anybody is confused. RPO D-80 was the box to check in 1971 You say so above. If personnel at the dealership or in the zone were confused in early 71 with the new product that is possible.

This however is fact: Chevrolet was out of the Factory backed T/A racing support at the end of 70. COPO 9796 as an engineering order was also finished then. I did not speak to anyone with a web site on this - I spoke in detail with Vince Piggins in 1985 about COPO 9796 and he was very clear that the need for a COPO ended when the 1971 year started with the RPO change.

Author Gary Whitzenburg also has a couple of pages on the 70 COPO T/A Spoilers in his book "Camaro challenger to Champion" Published around 1980. Have a look.

You still have a great car!

[Kurt S]

I agree with Phil on this one. It looks like D80 was RPO by then and the invoice notes exactly how the RPO would have looked on the window sticker, which is not how it would have looked as a COPO #.

[owners2]

gutted the interior,even pulled the headliner down didn't ruin anything ,but also didn't find any thing .even took out the gas tank.any other suggestions as to where i might possibly find the build sheet? under the carpet & interior panels was so beautiful it was if it had just came off the assembly line.had many musclecar nuts stop by throughout the afternoon who had heard i was pulling the car apart, just couldn't believe the condition everything was in & that i was actually pulling it apart.

Typically Norwood cars did not have them, for some reason they were discarded.

"COPO 9796 and he was very clear that the need for a COPO ended when the 1971 year started with the RPO change."

so..then any car from july 70 and newer had tall spoiler as a regular D80 rpo and not a copo.

Sorry, Here is a copy of my long lost 71z's original window sticker showing the RPO D80 option. By the way if anyone knows of this car I would sure like to find it. Long story on its history.

You are real close. '71 model year started concurrent with the short UAW Strike that year as 70 production shut down at the end of August. Strike was timed for the '71 roll out on September 14, 1970 as I recall.

How about the performance options on this one...D80, M22, 4.10 gears, and the car is still around to go with it. Hopefully it will be coming out of a long hibernation very soon. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[Supercar_Kid]

I just got a call from my good friend and he gave me the good news that he's finally got a deal done on this super cool '71 Z28. It's a local original owner car that was ordered from a nearby dealer that's still in business. Mulsanne Blue/black stripes/black standard gut M-22 with special order 4.10 gears. The kicker is it's supposedly all #'s matching and shows only 14XXX on the clock. The original owner mentioned having the protect-o-plate, and you've seen the above post of the genny original window sticker. I think he said the car's been painted, and has had new carpet and door panels put in because it got some water damage at some point during it's long slumber, but otherwise it looks like a '71 Z28 that's been hiding since the mid 70's. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

I'm supposed to go see the car tonite. I'll get spolier and build info when I see the car. Anything in particular I should pay close attention to? Second Gen Camaros are not my specialty, but this one sounds like it should have plenty of original markings and such in place.

I got a chance to see the car tonite and it's definitely a sweetheart, legit low mile Z. The story goes the original owner purchased the car from Vietnam through his good friend who's father happened to own a local Chevrolet dealer. All his friends back home had purchased brightly colored Mopars and he wanted something different. He wanted something light, fast, and Chevrolet...so naturally he picked the Z28, and demanded the M22 heavy duty gearbox, D80 spoiler package, and 4.10 gears so it would be sure to get going for street/strip racing. A few other select options, like the super rare NK2 "Custom Steering Wheel" and an AM radio were about it. Dressed in Mulsanne Blue with black trim it's definitely a pretty cool Z28.

It's unfortunately been repainted about 12 years ago, where I'm sure alot of originality was lost, but it seems to have been backtaped leaving much of the original Mulsanne in the jambs and under the decklid. The trunk has been resprayed in an amateur attempt to fluff a trunk that likely looked tired after years of sitting in storage, but the good part is the sheetmetal is unheard of on a car that spent it entire life in these parts and the floor pans even show original red oxide showing through the peeling undercoat. It also appears to have been 'black rattle can' detailed underneath at one point, but all in all the car is 99% complete.

This steering wheel is an interesting story in itself. The original owner wanted the optional NK4 "4 spoke steering wheel" he saw in his December '70 issue of Motor Trend that showcased the new for '71 models. He must have mistook the NK2 "custom steering wheel" option for what he though he wanted, because the car was built and delivered with this rare NK2 "custom" wheel. The grain is perfect, since he removed it soon after taking delivery of the car and had the 4 spoke NK4 installed. Only 621 Camaros got this oddball NK2 "custom" wheel.

It's this kind of stuff that really does it for me. The original owner thought the black rubber shift knob was lame, and literally switched it out on "day 2" for a T handle. This textured rubber knob has about 5 shifts of the M22 on it. Perfect grain, impossible to find NOS, and luckily saved alongside the car all these years. Now who's got the heart to remove the T handle that's been in there all this time?

I'm chasing a 1970 green/green Z28 automatic that has been in the original owners hands since 1970. Nice car that I've not been able to secure yet. This green car reminds me of the one owner car.

[budnate]

Eric you have any other ext shots of the car??? the paint work looks pretty good from here... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif any trunk shots of the spare tire???

Thnx Bud.

[Supercar_Kid]

Don't get me wrong, the paint on the car isn't bad, it just isn't completely original.

The story goes that back in '93 when the original owner decided that the car was looking a little tired, he pulled it out and had it appraised thinking that he might sell it. After rekindling his love affair with the car by getting it out and running again and realizing it was gaining some real value, he ended up doing more work to it and investing more $ than he originally intended and decided to keep it. I think we all know how that goes...

During it's brief "freshening" in '93 the car was treated to new carpet, door panels, a full exterior repaint and the original bumpers were removed and replated. I think some weatherstrip has been replaced, along with the tires. The spare in the trunk is a Coker repro that the owner purchased to match the 4 70's vintage Polyglas tires he was able to source for the car in the early 90's. I think it's been mentioned the Camaro was delivered new with Firestone Wide Oval RWL tires.

I don't mean to take anything away from the car, just saying it's too bad my buddy didn't find it back in '93..and leave it 100% untouched. It's definitely one of the nicest, unmolested, all #'s matching 2nd gen Camaros I've ever had the chance to get familiar with. I've never been a big fan of 2nd Gen Camaros but the more I get familiar with them the cooler I'm thinking they are. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Unfortunately the $40,000 asking price is way out of my range (I'm saving my $ for a project Supercar http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif ) but may not be for some of the members who frequent this site. If anyone's interested, PM me and I'll give you my friend's contact info. No finder's fee asked or accepted, this is just a good car that deserves a good home. I'd be glad to put a bona-fide Camaro enthusiast in touch with the owner.

no kidding...man I wish I had the coin I would like it here!!...I dig this car big time for some reason, I even have this picture on my pc screen for inspiration to get going on my '73...

Looks like the trunk leaks. Have him replace the trunk seal with the seam by the trunk lock.

It seems by 1971 Chevy got rid of the windsheild antena and moved it the trunk. I did not know this.

Super sweet Z!

mosportgreen66 are you talking about what looks like a cable going from the trunk into the decklid? if so it's about a 15 inch black plastic wire cover for the single wire that is typically orange in color & goes to the trunk light.in 71 the windshield still has the antenna in it.

[Supercar_Kid]

Yep, it's definitely not an antenna. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
