RPO ?
 

What is RPO K02? Something about a fan?

I'm looking at an original sales invoice for a '68 SS 'velle with an L34, M40, and a 3.55 G80 - with option K02. I'm curious what this option was for, it's one of several unusual options on this car.

Re: RPO ?
 

While I'm at it, how about a '69 Camaro with the following steering options:

N33: Comfortilt steering wheel
N40: Power steering
N44: Special steering equip.

What is N44?

Re: RPO ?
 

From the net: KO2 - Thermomodulated clutch fan

And N44 is a quick ratio box (Z28) I believe...20:1 ratio

Damnn that's a big word https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif I wonder why they would call that out separately, it's not an a/c car either - the things that make you go.... hmmmmm.

Quick ratio eh? This '69 Camaro was loaded!

Man, I guess so! That's some big coin for a low-horse small block car...

Re: RPO ?
 

http://www.camaros.org/options.shtml#RPOSpreadsheet lists all the RPO's.

That was a loaded car! But notice no console, guages, speed warning. Basic loaded cruiser, aka Mom's Car.

Re: RPO ?
 

Where was it destined to be sold new at?
That KO2 has me thinking down south or the desert.

Re: RPO ?
 

My 68 Chevelle has KO2, sometimes called heavy duty cooling. Mine was sold in Alabama. It could be an added option for towing, southern heat, high trafic areas in heat, etc.
