Orange/Orange RS COPO
On the cover of the June issue of Super Chevy there is a Hugger Orange with Orange Houndstooth RS COPO. Unfortunately after flipping through the magazine there appears to be no feature on the car. Is that the only COPO in that color combo? What little they show of it looks nice.

Re: Orange/Orange RS COPO
Dale Chevrolet in Waukesha WI is said to have had one. Not an RS, auto with console. They also had a yellow/yellow 4-speed COPO. In the '70s I had an orange/orange Z/28 I occasionally took to work. Our warehouse manager at the time told me he went to Dale for an L78 car and they sent him home in the orange COPO instead. This was early 1970; they had quite a few left over '69s including a yellow/yellow Z/28-RS with JL8.
Both yellow cars still exist; orange car in limbo. The original owner of the yellow COPO remembers the orange car and preferred it; did not want an auto.

Re: Orange/Orange RS COPO
At Carlisle last year there was an orange/orange L78 with a white vinyl top and a white hockey stripe. Neat machine that was beautifully restored.

Re: Orange/Orange RS COPO
How long have you been in Waukesha? The car was in the area until the early '80s. One of my buds bought it; that's how we met. He schmutzed it, took off the vinyl roof.
I realize these are lousy pics but thats how it was 30 years ago. The orange/orange car was also JL8; both from Dale. No idea where it is today. I sold it to a guy from FLA who wanted to use the brakes for a Z11 project.

I collect all things Dale Chevrolet. Interesting stuff! |
