COPO with - - paint code

[zgator]

This 69 Camaro copo was owned by a friend of mine.I was talking to him sat at a car show here in Savannah.He remembers that the paint code was - -.The car was painted red when he got it.It needed a repaint so he did some scraping and found a green paint under the red.He knows it wasn't rally green but thinks it might have been a frost green or maybe citrus green.We know that frost green was a 69 color so that really didn't jive with the - - on the trim tag.He sold the car to a guy in Lancaster Ohio.I have the guys name but not sure if I should post it here.We would like to know if anyone here knows of this car and what color it was when it left the factory.He does not know the vin of this car.

Rallye, Fathom, and Frost greens were regular colours and had a paint code. One of the most popular greens that were applied with the -- was a very popular green that was called Pontiac Verdoro Green.

I have an NOS case of 24 cans of Liquid Tire Chain from a chevy dealers stock.It is unopened and came in the original shipping carton to be delivered in.It was for the parts counter to display and has a very cool pop up display picture.Just thought it was a neat piece to add here.

Thanks for the info, sounds like you are partial to 1969 Camaros. Any other cars in the collection.

This looks like a very late COPO. Does anyone know of one Built after 09E ?

Yes, I also have a 66 L79 Nova, a 66 L72 Corvette, and a 67 L71 Corvette.

I bought the 69 COPO Camaro with the -- paint code from from Bobby two years ago. I have traced it back to it's second owner who lives in Alliance, Ohio. It was sold at Rodenfels Chevrolet in Cleveland, Ohio. It was painted 69 Pontiac Verdoro Green from the factory. The second owner painted it black, which it was when Bobby purchased it. He painted it 69 Corvette Monza Red. I have since stripped it and repainted it the same color.

Welcome ZZMAN, do you live in Ohio? Tell us more about your COPO, O5D or 06A build date X11 OR X44, single or double COPO and any special options like M22 OR NC8?

[ZZMAN]

Yes, I live just outside of Lancaster, Ohio. The COPO car has a 9E build date. As stated above, it was a paint delete car. I was wrong about the original color on it last night. I posted the reply from my office, and did so from memory. I had the file for the car here at my home. It was originally painted 70 Pontiac Citrus Green. It is an X-44 single COPO car with 711 interior, M-21 4 speed, without console, tach, or gauges.Besides the 9561 option, the only other option it has is an AM radio. It has 19,600 miles on it, and I even drive it on rare occasions.

I also have three other 69 Camaros. A 396/375hp car that I purchased in 1971. It is my nice weather driver car. A Z-28 survivor car with 25,800 miles on it. It is 100% original, except for the distributor cap, spark plugs, and plug wires. It even still has the original belts and hoses on it.
It looks like you went back in time 33 years. Quite a car.

Finally, I have a Z-10 Pace Car hardtop. Bought it in Los Angeles a few years back. It is a 350/300HP car, loaded with about every option but power windows, fiber optics, and liquid tire chain. It is currently under restoration. It was a survivor car, with 42,000 miles on it, but had so many door dings and rock chips in the paint that I decided to have it re-painted.
