COPOŽs and Power Steering
 
Just wondered, was it most common that the COPOŽs,
where with or without Power Steering?

I see some has it and some dont, and i wondered if anyone knows whats most common?

Most did not have power steering. Not sure of the ratio, but quite large I'm sure!

About 30% of the Deuces had power steering.

I have information on several COPO Chevelles and none of them came with power steering. I guess if you need power steering you also need a 4 door Impala. Right Pete? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I don't think alot of muscle cars were ordered with power steering. Cost you about ten horses. I had three new cars in the 60s and none had power steering [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]

As for 427 cars, our Camaro has it, but our Chevelle and Nova are without it.

We've also owned a couple of '69 L-78 cars, and the Chevelle had it while the Camaro didn't.

I think *maybe* Pete's Chevelle has ps, but I can't remember?

My '72 Nova didn't come with PS. My Dad added it because I kept hitting things when I first got my license. It helped because I did not have any other accidents after we put it on. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Our L78 car doesn't have PS either. You had better have both hands on the wheel for low speed turns although it is fine out on the open road. I thought that one of those old steering wheel spinners would look nice. The wife didn't think so. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

In the middle of restoring my copo and despite it's originality I'm seriously considering adding power steering. I added power steering to my very original z ( my prior 69 z's all had manuel steering )when we restored it and in my opinion it is a hell of a lot more driveable.
