The original agreement with Yenko Sportscars Inc called for 350 COPO 9561 Camaros, probably to be built 1Q 1969. Suppliers of components would have been provided that information for their production planning. When COPOs proved to be much slower selling than anticipated, Yenko delayed subsequent orders creating excessive WIP inventory at suppliers.
Tonawanda foundry was one of them. No one wants raw castings sitting around for 90 days.
