Regardless of the rivets, if that Cowl tag is the original to the car although possible it was an L78 car it certainly was/is not a 9737 Copo car..

I did not read anything in the ad indicating the seller stating it was a 9737 car.

Was the COPO process used when ordering a non standard color on a 1968 Camaro? If so, I guess that is why the seller is stating it is a COPO.

I know with Chryslers the color code on the fender tag would show as either 99 or 999 for a special order color. With that code there is no way to determine the actual original color of the car. You have to find some of the original paint on the car.

Special paint code for a Camaro in 68 is - - -. There was no Q coded paint used on Camaros in 1968. Tag is either a modified O - O tag, or a repro.

How would you like to shift a 4 speed muncie with a standard bench seat (trim code 713) in that car?

Has anyone ever seen a Verdoro Green Camaro before? I really like that color, but curious as to whether it was ever ordered.

I guess if a '69 COPO could be ordered in a Pontiac color (the COPO with 325 miles on it), then I suppose a '68 could as well. And as stated, not sure it necessarily makes this '68 a COPO, rather than a special paint car.
