Yes, the body #s alone can be meaningless when compared to other close body #s since other regular orders would be close to Copo cars, just another order in sequence. The ZL1 Camaros were unique in their production and do not seem to follow such a typical body # order/production execution.

It is the typical great difference in vin#/assembly date from regular production cars with close body #s when looking at potential Copo cars that is much more important. Because of the delay in components such as the BE 12 bolt the orders were delayed typically resulting in a much later build date/vin # when compared to regular production cars/body #s that had no production delays. The body # by itself is meaningless unless the separation by production/build dates and the existence of other body #s of other Copo cars are considered. We have learned of many Copo cars because of the body # as the first indication especially when related to the vin # and production date of similar Copo cars. Almost all of the dealer ordered Copo cars that had individual multiple car orders with the same build date have been documented to have consecutive body numbers.

The earliest 50 Yenko Copo Camaros built in '69 were ordered in Oct. '68 and were assigned order/body #s in the 202450-202500 range and the resulting vins were in the N578xxx-N587xxx range for January second week '69 production. I don't any 01B built regular production Camaro body #s to compare but they should be quite a bit later than the Yenkos body #s built at that time for example.
