Default 67 6 cylinder COPO??

How bout it folks seems the Camaro White book on page 8 shows a engine suffix code as FB for a 250ci COPO 9627. Would this be the one that 1967 panther has come across that the owner states came from the factory with a 4 barrel. This if fact would mean not all COPO's would be supercars

Fact or not,not all COPOs were supercars.I would guess very few were supercars,most were fleet orders or special paint requests,ect.......

I would agree that a very small percentage of Central Office Production Ordered cars were Super Cars.

Ok help me out here folks, I was under the impression that just the fact that the COPO Engines gave it the status. So COPO could be anything and everything as far as the factory cares. Just happens that the COPO codes for the Zl1 and YENKO's etc are the more sought after ones> Sorry to bore you all but Though I'm 46 Yrs old im still wet behind the ears on camaros and am like a sponge soaking up all the info i can.
Mahalo
(thanks)

The COPO system was just a way to purchase a special vehicle or special parts that were not available using the RPO system. The "Chevrolet Fleet & Special Order Department" built many types of vehicles but the High Performance 427 cars get most of the attention. "COPO" became a buzz word in auto magazines mostly used to describe the factory built 1969 427 Chevelles and Camaros. There were many other COPO cars and trucks built in addition to the 1969 427 cars. Don Yenko is the King of the hi po COPOs using the Chevrolet Fleet & Special Order Department to purchase over 600 high performance COPO cars through his little Chevy dealership in PA. He did hi po Corvairs, Camaros, Chevelles, Novas, and Vegas.
