#66 is Cortez Silver, #67 Orange. Both were an expensive PIA for the dealership.
Wish I had recorded the calls. He told me COPO 9560 was deliberately ended at 69 cars. He said the dealership was contacted by Barney Krass from Central Office; Chevy was looking for 17 additional orders. Without knowing the cost, they placed two orders. Quite a surprise when they were invoiced. Even more surprising was why they bothered. They were acquainted with Fred Gibb as both dealerships were involved in racing. At the time of their order there were 37 ZL-1 Camaros in stock at Gibb's, 65 miles from Huffman's. He said they simply didn't know.
Jerry passed away a few years ago.
