Verifing COPO totals imported into Canada

[iluv69s]

Wasn't there atleast one COPO LT-1 non-yenko Nova from Canada ? Seems like I remember an article about one or two being made?

There were at least two of them, and rumours of a third, but it was never proven, from what I understand.

There were exactly 13 Camaro L89s brought new into Canada in 1969, independently verified by GM Vintage Vehicle Services Inc in Oshawa.

Hi Lance.

Any chance you can check on L89 Chevelles?

PS: one of those L89 Camaros lives near Port Elgin, owner works at the Bruce. Originally Cortez, now Tuxedo or the other way around. I saw it years ago while on holidays.

I have met that same L89 Camaro owner and I cannot for the life of me think of where.

There is an Orange car, which sold to somewhere to the North Easter US. I saw the car here in Ontario, in '96, but it was totally disassembled and too much of a project for someone looking for their first car. I ended up buying the L78, which was sitting beside it.
If I had more money and/or a more understanding wife, I would have bought both.

Ironically, that same orange car was advertised for sale a few years later. This time I had the money and was looking for a second car. Unfortunately I was never able to get together with the seller, as the person advertising the car did not actually own it.

So, that makes 2 of the L89's accounted for.

Correct, the owner has owned the car since 1971.

Since we sold our Chevelle, I haven't been around these sites much. The third COPO Chevelle is with the original owner's son in Vancouver, the last I heard. John passed away a few short years ago. I never did have a picture of that car, but it was pretty much identical to the silver one that I had. At a GM Autofest show, Scott Gay had a light green COPO Chevelle there. A Toronto gentleman I believe.
