Possible COPO?

[Camaroinaz]

Were any of the COPO's VIN's in the 686XXX range?

Anything is possible. You'd have to look for all the signs that COPO's bare. Should have 427 Iron block engine, bb tranny crossmember, there will be an exhaust hanger plate welded on the rear left rail frame, Cowl Induction system/drill holes, single fuel line from gas tank to carb, 120/140 speedo. Car should be "plain jane" (no chrome trim around wheel wells, side louvers, headlight housing), silver front grill with Chevy bowtie emblems. If you post the Fisher body tag, the experts will be able to break it down further. Also check to make sure VIN on dash matches VIN on right side of cowl vent.

There were a few X11 trim COPOs produced, so they would have the trim as well as designation on the body tag.

Stefano, weren't the X11 COPO's produced in late '68, early '69?

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

The first COPO's were ordered in late '68, built in late Jan. & early Feb. of '69, and were X66's. The X11's were a little later in '69.

I was surfing E-Bay, and this car came up recently. It has the Silver Grill, currently running a small block, has 12-bolt rear, no fender emblems, but the vin indicates an 8-Cyl, etc. It just really looks like a possible COPO. I will e-mail the seller and try to get more information. Thanks for your responses.

The first COPO Camaros, which were Yenkos had the X66 Big Block Designation but I have never seen an X66 COPO non Yenko Camaro, other than the one advertised in Canada which has been discussed as a rebodied car.
