You're looking at COPO data. I'm looking at a reasonable sample of <span style="font-style: italic">all</span> 1969 Camaro production at Norwood. The disparity in VIN/body numbers between regular production cars and COPOs virtually disappears by 06A.

<span style="font-style: italic">&quot;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.&quot;

Another way of saying the same thing is that NOT all of them will have consecutive body numbers. The Dale Chev COPO that was at MCACN last year was an example. Two other surviving 05E Dale COPOs are in sequence; this one isn't and it greatly bothered the owner. His car may in fact have been ordered at the same time but not confirmed immediately; its body number is 2,100 later than the others but it was built at the same time and arrived on the same transporter. Just dumb luck our db has the next body number; it's a Camaro SS coupe.

That in a nutshell is the perception problem years of talk about COPO body numbers has created. That's why the question was posted in the first place.

A car that has a body number in sequence with other known COPOs is not necessarily a COPO.
A car that has a body number nowhere near other known COPOs may in fact be a COPO.

There is data to support both statements.
