Hey Jeff what about The Stingers, Deuces, Gibb Novas etc?

Yeah, I forgot about the LT1 Novas. The Stingers never really jumped out at me as a great performance car like the 427 and LT1's. But like I said, this is what makes the term COPO exciting to me.

The word COPO doesnt really mean a whole lot unless its attached to other words such as 427 COPO Chevelle, or 427 COPO Camaro....

IMO....This thread and the discussion that it generated is now finished, as the discussion has become non-productive and risks a fight, so additional replyling here seems to be just stirring things up, and then having fun with it. Sad indeed.

This site is where the world comes to learn about COPO's.

Gives us a bad name when irrational opinions are stated here when even the most basic facts from Chevrolet do not support.

For you guys that derailed this thread and posted here saying the only real COPO's were 427 equipped - thus turining the whole thread sour:

You may be on to something that this board has missed since year 2000 and then continued to miss at each reunion...

Suggestion: You know this is kind of an obscure portion of the board, so tell you what-- why don't you 427 only COPO idea guys start a new discussion using these same thaughts the same way- you used them here in this thread(no cheating now!!!) and do it over on the main supercar discussion section of this board.

Seems if you want to argue about a topic as important as
saying a COPO was only really 427 equipped - you need to invite everyone right??

I think everyone should remember the name of this website, its called "The SUPERCAR Registry" and you get here by typing in "Yenko.Net"..its not called COPO World, COPO Cars, or whatever. Even Ed Cuneens "COPO Connection" only lists Supercars. Kind of nice that the real Supercar guys let us even talk about our measly Z/28's and SS's..

Sam,

Most people clearly know what this site is about, but perhaps some do not, In case you missed it, look on the front page.

"The PREMIER Supercar site"

"Dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the Chevrolet dealer built Supercars and COPO cars"

Also You should really go and visit Ed's site again in detail, You might have missed some of the detail there. Look on the active portion of left side of the site.

Kind of interesting topic...Doesn't anyone have a buildsheet from a pacecar ? Do they list COPO numbers on them like the 427 cars and others ? ??? Phils spoiler has a COPO number...what do pacecars have ?

Back to the original question he asked, PacecarJeff, what makes you think the car could have been built as a COPO order? I see the 80055 special GM account but I don't think that wouldn't require a COPO order. I see the special paint code as well and I have no idea if special paint would generate a COPO order. I would think somebody with a 67 Pacecar with original window sticker might be able to help. I see a window sticker for a 69 Z28 in Jerry's book that also lists the 1001HA Special Paint but no reference to COPO. But then the 9561 isn't mentioned as a COPO on the window sticker either. Your best bet is to contact Jim Mattison to see what his thoughts are since he was there back in the day.
