ThE ** RAREST** C.O.P.O. Car .

Is this what the hood stripe would have looked like?

The Tailfins & Bowties info was from Chevy computer print outs called " Passenger option production reports"

they were the production numbers given for the RPO code not for the cars built

The Fran Preve numbers were the engine codes from the Tonawanda plant not the number of cars built

The Tailfins & Bowties RPO numbers and the Fran Preve numbers come close but there are questions on the accuracy of the numbers when used to calculate the number of 427 COPO cars built.

We ran into the same thing when trying to figure out the 427 COPO Chevelle production numbers using the Tailfins & Bowties RPO numbers and the Fran Preve engine numbers

The numbers may be pretty close but I felt they were a bit high when considering all the other data

here is a pic of a page from the Tailfins & Bowties book

It was the only 1969 Camaro I could find that had a single hood stripe. LOL - didn't realize that the image in the photo was reversed.

That's what it would look like in your rear view mirror.
