Default Re: COPO Nova Transmission

It is very unlikely that your trans is from the green car, since I believe Owen's silver COPO Nova has an 05D build date - making the sold date irrelevant.

The Canadian COPO Novas were 'tweeners' when comparing the TT and VIN data to the Yenko COPO Novas. I forget the body # on Owen's COPO Nova, but the build date / VIN combination is after the Yenko 4speeds but before the Yenko automatics - almost like they slipped 10 more in for Canada before building the automatics for Yenko.

Hi Marlin,

Do you or anyone have the VIN off the green car?
I'd like to find out once and for all... but it looks like it was a myth.
