Everyone has very good points here and nothing was set in stone,but among other things,this would be the first Monaco/Hugger Orange colored 427 COPO Chevelle,(not to mention a Kansas-Leeds assembly),that most know of that has 72 72 on it's cowl tag.
Others 427 COPO's,(Baltimore assembly),have - - as were considered/assembled as a Malibu.
All Monaco/Hugger Orange 69 Chevelle Super Sports I've seen have 72 72,as dictated by Chevrolet.

Can anyone lead this topic to a <u>documented</u> 1969 Monaco/Hugger Orange Chevelle Super Sport with - - on its cowl tag,or a 427 COPO w/72 72 on it's cowl tag?

I have a Monaco Orange COPO in the database that is "blank" in the paint code area...no 72, no -, nothing...simply blank. So, I don't think it's quite exact for (at this time) for us to let the paint code dictate the build...rule of thumb, maybe, but it's not an exact science...

Also, I have 2 Kansas cars listed that are exactly *opposite* of the rule, with an SS showing "- -" and a COPO showing "72 72"...
