The "1" under the "6" is a Chevrolet trademark, I think.

EXCELLENT info Denis! And good job on the formatting for that table! Looks good, and easy to read! https://www.yenko.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif

Re: Chevelle P-O-P questions
 

On the right side the imprint under the "6" is a Chevy bowtie trade mark not a "1". Not sure of all years but I believe it is for a 1969 POP. Probably done to make forgery more difficult.

I've got the "little bowtie" on my '70 POP for my COPO Nova as well.

Great info! What is a good source for decoding P-O-Ps? Does the "Chevrolet by the Numbers" books give you the necessary information?

Re: Chevelle P-O-P questions
 

I use an old circa-1972 GM master parts manual. The first few pages cover decoding quite exhaustively.

The rest I'm making up as I go along https://www.yenko.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif

Joe, the build date is indeed 06B. It has 3/8ths fuel line and power disks on the front. I did not get a radiator with the car.
Rat Pack, I spaced out the numbers just like on the POP but it doesnt reflect that in the actual post. Maybe if I try this way
-------------------136379B388055--H
TO528DC------------KK0602B--------6
P9D26---------------133-----------1

It does have the original AM radio. It definately DOES NOT have A/C. It has power steering but I am almost positive the guy I bought the car from added it, I dont think it had it originally. Thanks so much for your help so far, maybe I can get inspired to actually finish this thing!!!

Re: Chevelle P-O-P questions
 

The assembly manual has some POP info in it too.
The engine and trans data was written on a master broadcast sheet and then keyed in (VIN was downloaded via computer) and the POP printed out at the end of the line.
I've seen many POP errors, but most of the time with one digit, not both. I assume your original engine code was JD, the date looks fine.
