The COPO cars could be ordered like any other Chevelle IF you knew the COPO order codes. Most dealers didn't even know. We found out through a friend who worked in the GM Oshawa main office. Really no different than ordering an L78 car. Contrary to popular belief, you didn't need any special connections. I was just a little guy wanting the 427.
