Would this car be considerd a COPO

[Keith Tedford]

I think that the COPO world gets a little disturbed when they see sleazy dealers, and others, hanging the COPO name on anything and everything just to make a fast buck. GM had several ways of getting cars through the system in the old days and COPO was just one of them. If we work together instead of getting all strung out, perhaps all of these methods will become clear. It's not that many years ago that people thought that I was pulling their legs when talking about our factory 427 Chevelle. It was a little frustrating but they eventually learned a little. Same with the pace cars and others such as Ray Morrison's COPO Chevy II. I bet these guys also had their share of disbelievers. Our GM of Candada microfilm printout shows the 9566AA but doesn't call it COPO as such. Unless you knew the significance of the number, it looked just like another L78 car when looking at all the option codes listed. There is still lots for us to learn.
