My knowledge on Yenkos is not much but I think some of the cars came with 396 engines. They could not be Malibus or plane jane Camaro/Nova car because the suspension would have to be changed to adjust to the HIPO engine. Someone else should be able to fill in the cracks.

well from all my reading i'm thinking they were base line cars with the 427 and auto or manual tranny, 4.10 posi and that was it no extra's. aren't copo cars totally different than ss car's? i meen the way they were ordered. i'm doing a little research and putting a scrap book together. thanx

The easiest way to describe it would be that the COPO Camaros & Chevelles were basically SS396 cars without the SS emblems/stripes and with 427s in place of the 396...kind of vague, but you get the idea.
