Default Re: Berger COPO Camaros

[ QUOTE ]
We have found the body #s are consecutive, per order, but the vin #s can be 100s apart. Example - my white car, and a Lemans blue car I owned are 3 body #s apart, but 263 vin #s apart.

Body numbers had nothing to do with production scheduling. They were assigned when a dealer order was confirmed [not placed] by Central Office thus reserving materials and production capacity. On any given day some if not all the Camaros ordered by any dealer had consecutive body numbers-check two of the Z/28s in JMs '69 book. While many COPOs ordered by a particular dealer [Yenko for example] do have consecutive body numbers some do not including Bergers. Even the 50 ZL-1s Fred Gibb ordered do not have consecutive numbers. The body number on ZL-1 #3 is 211785; ZL-1 #1 is 222002. #3 was the first ordered but the 3rd built.

Claiming a Camaro is/is not a COPO based on body number only is asking for trouble.
