COPO question .

I would disagree with this because there may have been different types of special paint. Some early Camaros had special paint but it was no more then deleting the mandatory nose stripe on an SS. This may not have required processing by the COPO system. When a car received a complete color change to a non standard color, I believe it would require approval through the COPO system. Jim Mattison recalled in his interview that he did paperwork for some strange colors requested by Chevy dealers. Also I have seen Chevelle build sheets with special paint that have some COPO type numbers on them. Some special paint 1970 Chevelles have been found with strange numbers stamped on the trim tag.
