Canada-sold COPO Chevelles

**jeffschevelle** · #1 10-03-2023, 02:30 PM

Is there a list of all the VINs of 1969 COPO Chevelles shipped to dealers in Canada? I have read there were 17 such cars, don't know if that is accurate or not.

I have come across a copy of a sheet listing a block of 14 1969 Chevelle Baltimore VIN's, which appears to be a page from a list of cars shipped to Canada. It has at least 8 COPOs on it (that I can read), all with 9566AA shown.

This may be something already out there and nothing new to the COPO folks. But thought I would ask if all the Canada-sold VINs are already known.

Thanks!

I know the owners of a handful of Canadian sold 1969 COPO Chevelles.

Fathom Green, Fathom Green, Fathom Green, Frost Green, Daytona Yellow, Garnet Red, LeMans Blue, Turquioise, this is just off the top of my head, I guess I know more than a handful.

I would like to help with this. You can send it to me or keep it back either way is fine with me.

Is it a micro phish from GM of Canada Vintage Vehicle Services?
(They used to sell that as part of the package)

I can also ask a couple ridiculously knowledgeable racers/dealer performance reps from back in the day. Belmont and Central (a lot went through them)

It's a photocopy of a list of fourteen (14) VINs, but I don't know what it was orignally printed from. For each car it has what I assume are the Order and Ident numbers, the key codes, color, and all the options for each car. There are 8 COPOs, and the car from the bottom of the preceding page whose option list rolls onto this page is also a COPO, but its VIN is not shown since it was on the previous page.

There is a non-COPO L78 car also listed on this sheet.

If mrrays already has all 30 VINs, sounds like I should just send him a scan of this sheet? Might provide new info, might not.

Thanks!

All I know is that one of those cars was rebodied in the 90’s. I have no idea which vin it is.

Chevelle or Camaro?

I know of a few revisited Camaros but haven’t heard about a COPO Chevelle.

----That particular COPO was orange, and the body switch was done on Cape Cod. I had a 67 435 Vette at the shop where the work got done and saw it several times. The original car was a serious rust bucket, and the owner used an SS Chevelle out of California. Much later that car ended up in the Chicago area. Don't know where it is today. I won't give any further info out on that on the sight....Bill S

Absolutely sure as the fellow that did it told me himself. Everyone up here in the gta that was into these cars at that time knew the story on this one. I’m sure others here know the car. Sorry…Chevelle.

I have at least 15 known COPO Chevelles that were sold in Canada. I also have 7 additional VIN's that I have as Canadian sold with no dealer info whose whereabouts are unknown.

There were exactly 30 1969 COPO Chevelles sold new in Canada. I have complete data on all of them.
