Re: 75 Copo?
I would think that they would give a little info about the car since they are making such big claims. What makes it a COPO? A little engine and trans info would be nice.

Re: 75 Copo?
The first 10 vettes in '65 were drum brake cars because they didn't have any disk brakes to put on them yet. I have # 11 and it is a diskbrake car, thank goodness.

Re: 75 Copo?
Pantera,
------no.11. Wow! How was that car ordered? Options, color, etc. Id be interested. ------I had a paperworked 65 fuelie with drum brakes from the factory that had a serial number up in the low 2000s. The original owner told me that the dealer called him up several weeks after ordering and told him there would be a 6 week delay if he wanted disc-brakes. Apparently there was a shortage of something disc-brake related for quite awhile in the early 65 model year. This is actually quite normal. This owner was intending to drag race the car anyway and thought this trade down suited him just fine. ------According to Noland Adams there were 316 drum brake substitutions made at a 64.50 credit. He also says option code J61 was actually planned for 66 as well but was cancelled at the last minute for some unknown reason. ------It wasnt a simple switch of parts either as even the frame was a different part number. ------Looking forward to hearing about your early car.........Bill S
