Default COPO and CSL

I have a 1981 edition of the Canadian Chevelle-Monte Carlo parts catalogue P014. On Page III there is a brief description of COPO. Apparently there is/was a 1967 and newer COPO catalogue. Before that is was called a CSL (Canadian Special List) catalogue. Never saw a CSL catalogue although I have the COPO one. Nothing musclecar in it though.

I think I have that CSL.
It denotes COPO as only Buses,Ambulances,Utility vehicles & other industrial applications.

The COPO catalogue that I have shows the same type of stuff. Nothing exciting. Perhaps the COPO cars that we like weren't exactly on the up and up COPOs. Perhaps a little hanky panky getting them through the system and someone just forgot to enter them in the book. Wouldn't want to ruffle any upper management feathers.

I agree.
Look how briefly these special Hi-perf vehicles were ordered via the COPO loophole.
Once,or if they ever were talked about in writing,it was all over before the ink was even dry.Just adds to thier mystique..
