thanks Ken.
Jim Mattison stated in the MCR interview that he remembers writing COPO paperwork on special paint cars when he worked at GM. There may have been different levels of special paint orders. For example if you wanted a 67 SS Camaro without nose stripe it may not need to go through the COPO process. If you wanted a complete color change, like the Carolina Blue cars sold in NC where the color was off the charts, you may have had to go through the COPO process. Jim M did state that he remembered processing COPO paperwork for Chevrolets in a normally Pontiac only Green.
