November '01 Feature Car

[tom406]

I'm guessing the other orange "COPO twin" ended up recently in this Eastern Washington owner's garage. He bought the black Hemi Cuda and Pink T/A Challenger earlier this year.

I also had great time talking Chevelles with Jeff and seeing his beautiful COPO. One question on the Feature Car write up for the detail nuts (like me). I don't believe the car has the COPO 9737. It is not on the build sheet and the 9737 would give it 15x7 Z/28 Rally Wheels not normally available on Chevelles. Nice car Jeff!

Harry Snow and Chris Spanos had the COPO Twins in Atlanta 1996 and SuperChevy Indy 1996.Harry had those COPO's advertised in Hemmings,Dec.1996,May 1997,Nov.1997.75K for the pair!
They sold the Manual trans.COPO at Carlisle in 1998 I believe.
My friend and I bought the Auto.trans. COPO in February 1999-took possesion here in Il. April 99.
We did a Canadian VIN Search with George Zapora.I needed to get cash liquid later on so I cashed out.I was chasing another car that never materialized.
My friend had sole ownership of your COPO.He soon sold it to a broker,who soon sold it later on.
Jim Silvers and John Pazalelle bought it here in Il. again.

Your COPO is one of 201 1969 Chevelles exported to Canada from U.S.A.
No breakdown of how many were just COPO 427.It came with PL5 F70X14 White lettered tires,and SS rims.No SS center on steering wheel.I think the Black pinstripping was proved to be added later.I was locating a Smog system for it when he sold it.

That website mentioned above,is not the twin to this car.The twin to your COPO has No buildsheet,and was an M-22,not an M-21.Both baltimore built,and both delivered to Central Chev-Olds in Ontario,I believe.

I still have all the Paper work copies on this Car as well as many pictures.It is a VERY nice car,belongng to a very nice guy!

Mr70,you state there were 201 Canadian COPO Chevelles. What basis do you have for this info ? I think others may be interested in this as well to get closer to the total true COPO Chevelle numbers.How many total COPO Chevelles do you believe were produced outside of Yenko's ?

When I got the COPO Chevelle documented through George Zepora at Vintage Vehicle Services in Canada in 1999.On the title page with all the codes deciphered it states: 201 1969 Chevelles(Same model no.) exported from U.S.,no breakdown of COPO production.I would not venture to guesstimate on COPO production outside of Yenko.Noone seems to agree on this number.

Jeff
I wasn't to certain on the destination of the twin.Email me a picture of that sign,if you do find it.
