My COPO Camaro was Built in the first week of May at the Norwood Plant. Delivered in Mid August to Reedman Chevrolet in Langhorne Pa. with Rally Wheels on it. it has a Rally wheel with a Space Saver Spare on it and the inflator Bottle. I was told that these are Rare. what is the story on these Space saver Rally Rims? second question is about the Tail lights without Reverse lights in them. I think they look cool, and I have seen COPO Cars with and without them. why is that?

I have also seen the tail lights without the reverse light in them. The white part is red and I'm not talking about an RS lense. These were the standard lenses.

I dont know about any car leaving the assembly line rigged with "no" backup light in 1969..have to show how me how that was possible/legal in '69

12bolt. Looks like you may need to spring for some NOS tail light lenses. Should be some on Ebay for, oh, 12 gazillion dollars a pair. Good thing you don't need a radiator cap, huh?

I think it looks cool and it is the way I got it, so I am leaving it be. I will have to check the Harness to see if it is spliced or if it could be some kind of off road deal?? here is an actual quote from the First Owners Best friend about the car, "Man, the Day after Billy brought that Car home, we tore them Exhaust Manifolds off and put a set of Hooker "Super Comp" Headers on there!" when I first came to this site, I frequently saw the Term "Day 2 Car" used. I never heard it before, nor had any of my Car friends. I pm'ed a member who graciously explained it to me and It makes total sense! so I had a quiet Chuckle to myself as this Guy recounted the events of the Purchase and subsequent ACTUAL "Day 2" Activities!!!
