Default Chevelle Question......

So why do most people refer to the COPO Chevelle in 69 as COPO 9562? And when I look at all the Canadian micro films they refer to the COPO Chevelle as COPO 9566?????

There were 8 different COPO 9562 Codes available for the 1969 13637 Chevelle.Each had its own 2 letter suffix.
All had the L-72 427/425Hp Engine,and either an M-21.M-22,or TH400 Trans.among Various other components.
On top of that were two more Codes.Code 9566 AA & BA.
These were exceptions for the RPO L-78 Tires,be it Man. Trans,,or TH400 respectively.

I think that the only 9562 COPO cars were the ones with the 9739 COPO option. All the Canadian paperwork that I have seen has shown 9566AA. As for the L78 tires, that seems to be a mystery. Our COPO Chevelle came with F-70X14 white lettered Uniroyals. Our L78 Chevelle came with PW7 white wall tires. There certainly doesn't seem to be anything L78 special about them. Any thoughts?

I assume the L78 meant tire size...???

My George Zapora Canadian COPO Chevelle Docs show ZP1 as:TIRE F70X14

This Chevelle came with 14X7 SS Rims (Magnum 500) and PL5 Raised white letter tires.
