Dick Harrell was adding paint stripes to his 427 COPO cars
some sold by Courtesy

this Bill Allen sold COPO Chevelle (Roger's car) had hood stripes added and its on the dealer paperwork

Some dealers added stripes to help sell the 427 COPOs

one 427 Chevelle had two small dealer added hood stripes about the size of the Yenko hood stripes. It was only the 2 rectangular stripes

this is from a magazine article on the Harrell shop building a 427 COPO Camaro

I don't know if Harrell painted the stripe or if it was factory special paint

From some of the comments I read online from drag racers, Harrell had a lot of 427 COPO cars that were sent to him for race prep, some by Chevy dealers , some by the car owner . One guy said he was there and remembers a bunch of 69 427 Camaros all jammed in around the shop. He said many were ZL-1s which he said they called "the golden Camaros".

Here is a Courtesy RS/COPO (the car previously mentioned as having a white interior....there were sheets on the seats from the OO's wedding day in a previous photo)

The original owner bought car off the lot and stripes were already on it.

They were on the hood only. OO kept the car till 1971.

Here is a pic of the WS...(some data redacted for obvious reasons...have a copy of the complete sheet). I've known about the car for 15 years or so...posted this pic on a Camaro site years ago..

Unfortunately the ECL codes for the stripes is missing (small torn section of the sheet when area unfolded).

Notice it says "Hood" and doesn't mention anything about "Deck"

Not just the ECL code unfortunately the RPO code also…..
