Default RPO ?

What is RPO K02? Something about a fan?

I'm looking at an original sales invoice for a '68 SS 'velle with an L34, M40, and a 3.55 G80 - with option K02. I'm curious what this option was for, it's one of several unusual options on this car.

While I'm at it, how about a '69 Camaro with the following steering options:

N33: Comfortilt steering wheel
N40: Power steering
N44: Special steering equip.

What is N44?

From the net: KO2 - Thermomodulated clutch fan

And N44 is a quick ratio box (Z28) I believe...20:1 ratio

http://www.camaros.org/options.shtml#RPOSpreadsheet lists all the RPO's.

That was a loaded car! But notice no console, guages, speed warning. Basic loaded cruiser, aka Mom's Car.

Where was it destined to be sold new at?
That KO2 has me thinking down south or the desert.

My 68 Chevelle has KO2, sometimes called heavy duty cooling. Mine was sold in Alabama. It could be an added option for towing, southern heat, high trafic areas in heat, etc.
