At one time I would have agreed with that; not any longer.

Consecutive body numbers are a byproduct of a dealer submitting a group of orders. If a dealer ordered several Camaros at a time and they and were quickly confirmed they typically have consecutive body numbers regardless of equipment. The CRG has 4 examples of COPOs with body numbers consecutive with a non-COPO. One of them is a Camaro SS350 with an X11D80 tag, an easily cloned car. There are several other examples within a few numbers of each other.

Has to be more there than a body number consecutive with a known COPO.
