They seemed to have used the same plan from 1967 to 1969

Scuncio Chev sold COPO 427s and did 427 conversions

In the Fred Gibb interview 1991, he was asked about the COPO L72 Camaros and he said
“ We sold a few, but we did one or two change overs a week on our own. “

Dick Harrell had COPO 427 cars but also did 427 conversions

Nickey did 2 1969 Z/28 to 427 conversions according to the info on this L88 Z/28

I'd like to add that Mel Perry at Norwood Motors in Rhode Island also had COPO 427 cars and did 427 and L88 conversions.
