Being a COPO It may have spent time in the body bank waiting to be scheduled. That could make the assy weeks ? Later than the TT date.
Date codes are not always X amount of time ahead of assembly. The driver mirror on my Malibu is 6 mo. ahead of assy.

In all honesty the car is more than just a COPO but is actually the fathom green Yenko found in Indiana last year. I’m helping in trying to track down what pieces the car is missing. NCRS documents showed an official production date of 7/10/69 before being shipped off to Yenko.

I have a friend who has a 944 (April/ 4th Week / 1969) 4346 carb and before setting out and buying one, if this one would technically be correct for the date code I’d just roll with it.
