Orange/Orange RS COPO

[William]

The yellow COPO in the photos had Z/28 stripes added at Dale before delivery; do not know about "Dale Duster" ID.

BTW both of these were very slow to sell. The yellow car sold Dec '69; orange auto spring '70.

With the Canadian yellow/yellow COPO and the Dale yellow/yellow COPO that makes 2 known yellow/yellow COPOs...?...or did I miss something.

Who knows?

There were 1,015 L72 Camaro engines shipped from Tonowanda. Lets say 90% were installed in cars; a bit over 900. There is much known about COPOs delivered to Yenko, Berger, Scuncio, Jack Douglass, Emmert, Canada. Of the 6,000+ Chevy dealers in '69 this is a small group. No matter how you add it up they account for maybe 500 cars. That leaves 400+ L72 Camaros we know nothing about. We continue to mash the same data.

Despite the attention given some of these dealers, many only had a few COPOs. Dale is a good example; from what I have pieced together they had 6 L72 Camaros. At least one of them [Rallye Green] became a full-time race car and is probably lost in time. Two others are not known to exist.

Plenty left to learn about COPO Camaros.

Dale also had orange/orange and yellow/yellow JL-8 Z/28s. I briefly owned the orange car. A friend had the yellow one, also an RS with black vinyl. Both still around somewhere.
