COPO Identification

[COPO]

Joe, I have seen the D80 stamped next to the "X" code on a COPO car. Mine does not have the D80 stamped. In an old "Muscle Cars of the '60's 70's" there is a brown COPO and a close up photo of the trim tag. I'm pretty sure it was an X-44 D80. I'll see if I can dig out that issue. I believe it was owned by Rick Dyer of CARS.

The brown COPO you referred to is a pretty well known clone/fake whatever you want to call it. Anyone else familiar with it? It was recently in Ohio until a new buyer got the straight scoop on it, then might have ended up at a dealer in Florida. Beware. There is also a questionable car on Ebay right now that has been changing hands regularly over the last nine months.

Joe, I was not aware that the spoilers were part of the COPO 9561 package. There is an original owner COPO in Jerry MacNeish's book pg. 95 w/out spoilers. It is a one owner, unrestored car w/original paint.

Spoilers are not part of any 9561 package. They are an extra cost option on the COPO cars. The Yenko cars had the spoilers as an option because they lent themselves to the stripes. I have never seen the D80 code on the trim tag on a Yenko before O6A. After O6A they are right beside the X44 D80. We have a O6A non spoiler COPO car right beside a O6A spoiler D80 car.

The guy selling the questionable COPO on Ebay has the same name that was on the Title of my old Silver COPO that has been on Ebay a couple of times recently. It was a real car.

I own the yellow Berger Double COPO that is featured on the web page, and it originally came from the factory with front and rear spoilers. On the cowl/trim tag, the D80 spoiler designation is stamped to the right of the X11 designation. Also of interest is the fact that when I pulled the engine to restore the car, I found that someone on the assembly line had written D80 in the center of the firewall behind the distributor with a grease pencil. I'll have the car at the Reunion if you would like to stop and take a look.

My car matches Brian's comments above.

It's an 06A X44 D80.

My car also confirms what Brian has stated, it is an 03B X44 car no D80 designation. However the original Yenko window sticker shows as the only additional cost options power steering and AM/FM radio. Does this mean the spoiler was added later? The stripes on the ends of the spoiler seem to match the other stripes which are original.

I have wondered about this AM/FM thing. I have what appears to be the original Yenko sticker that lists power steering $94.80 and AM/FM Pushbutton Radio $61.10. The car has AM only. Either the sticker is not real or maybe someone made a mistake. There is about a $60.00 difference between the sticker and the sales contract, maybe they realized that AM/FM was not in the car. I am anxious for you to look at it. Also while we are at it, were the original tires E70 or F70. This car had F70's on it with what appeared to be the original spare in the trunk so I replaced the tires with F70's.

I believe an original AM/FM 1969 Camaro should have a jumper wire with an in-line capacitor connected to the blower motor and a fixed non-telescoping antenna.
