If you didn't want opinions, then you shouldn't have asked for them.
Good luck with your COPO

Yes, I am looking for some opinions.
But yours seemed like an opinion thrown out there, with no thought. - COPO cars were ordered in large quantities for official use - the number of units would not determine the status.

And to clarify, my comment was directed more to your "must have been ordered for a VIP" comment. These cars were put on the dealer's floor for sale when the dealers bitched that they didn't get any Pace Cars.

I agree, some of the 11 IPC cars were put on the dealers floors after they complained.
Those cars seem to have fleet numbers on their trim tag.
A few others were special ordered for individuals, no fleet number - like mine.

I have a friend who is the original owner of one of the BB cars (and you are right, there were 11 BB and 10 RS SB's) and he still owns it today. I owned one of the SB cars in 1979.

If your friend has a Canadian BB car is it registered?
That would make 3 found. he should contact the guys at:
67 Pace Car Forum
Thanks for your comments.
I am really trying to figure out exactly how this car came to be made.
What process it went through. either fleet or COPO.
The info is leaning to COPO, but I want to gather as much info as I can.
A friend has a 69 Camaro with "COPO" on his Protect-O-Plate.
His is a SS-350, that his uncle ordered with a 10 bolt, and powerglide.
Not a supercar at all, just a special request.
COPO's came in many shapes and sizes, Not just big motors.
