COPO and CSL

[Keith Tedford]

I have a 1981 edition of the Canadian Chevelle-Monte Carlo parts catalogue P014. On Page III there is a brief description of COPO. Apparently there is/was a 1967 and newer COPO catalogue. Before that is was called a CSL (Canadian Special List) catalogue. Never saw a CSL catalogue although I have the COPO one. Nothing musclecar in it though. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I think I have that CSL.
It denotes COPO as only Buses,Ambulances,Utility vehicles & other industrial applications. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

The COPO catalogue that I have shows the same type of stuff. Nothing exciting. Perhaps the COPO cars that we like weren't exactly on the up and up COPOs. Perhaps a little hanky panky getting them through the system and someone just forgot to enter them in the book. Wouldn't want to ruffle any upper management feathers. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I agree.
Look how briefly these special Hi-perf vehicles were ordered via the COPO loophole.
Once,or if they ever were talked about in writing,it was all over before the ink was even dry.Just adds to thier mystique.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif
