Anyone know this COPO?
Check out this 1969 COPO Camaro on CarsOnline.com: https://www.cars-on-line.com/gen3-ca...posting/102901
Looks like a great car, all the original drivetrain goodies with POP. Did they build COPO's at Van Nuts Plant and this early?

There is a known Burnished Brown L72 car built at Van Nuys, and sold through Clippinger in Covina. IIRC, it was produced right at the end of VN production, after the plant restarted.
Not aware of any other known VN COPOs, especially one as early as this car, whose VIN is 124379L511422. Wording of the sales ad is interesting: Quote:

First I have heard of a COPO prior to the first two ZL1's and a 9561 prior to the first 50 yenko's.
IT would take A LOT MORE THAN what has been shown to convince me that car is a COPO. IIRC There was a COPO sold at Jack Head which was a Los built car.

Outed as a clone a few years ago. Earliest known real MN engines were built January 3, 1969.

Wouldn't that serial number be too early for a ZL2 hood at Van Nuys anyway? ZL2 was mandatory (standard) on all COPO Camaros.

Yep. Earliest known cars built with ZL2; Dec 27 at Van Nuys, Dec 30 at Norwood.
The relay on the red clone is incorrectly positioned.

Was ZL2 a required option, or included in 9560/9561?
