Jim, Was there different levels or different types of special paint and/or a different ordering process used? On the 1969 Chevelles the Monaco (Hugger) Orange and Daytona Yellow had to be ordered as special paint available only with the SS option. These cars have the normal paint code on the trim tag in the normal field. The COPO process was probably not needed for these. On Monaco (Hugger) Orange and Daytona Yellow COPO cars and non standard colors such as Carolina Blue, the trim tags have a - (dash) and no paint code on the trim tag. On 1967 Camaros a - (dash) was used where an SS car was ordered without the mandatory SS nose stripe. Do you remember any rules for when the dash was used with no paint code? Did the dash on the trim tag denote that there was a special COPO process or special assembly instructions? thanks
