COPO question .

[jon rand]

That 427 Kingswood Estate Wagon was for sale in car craft for $5,500 and listed as a COPO there was also a 71 BM Vega for $8,000 that ran 10.20s 1/4 mile. to bad this was a 1976 issue. If we only knew then what we know now.

I've been around a lot of Corvettes and I can't say that I've ever really seen a COPO Corvette. However I have seen some strange combos of options and paints that may have come through the Central Office. I've learned never say never on Corvettes though. Just when you think you've seen it all.........................

Corvettes ordered with the L88 and ZL1 options were COPO cars. Big tank cars were not COPO cars, this was regualr production option NO3. Some special colors were COPO options, you may have had to push very hard to get this through. One example is a 1967 Corvette, silver exterior with red interior.
This combination was not considered available, a few were built on a COPO basis.

There is a Corvette listed for sale here locally and advertized as a possible "PHASE III" Corvette

Is this a Baldwin Motion car ?

What exactly is a PHASE III CAR ?

L88 and ZL1 were RPO's. No COPO order was required for an RPO. May have required the Central Office to approve (the special color combos did require this), but they did not require any additional engineering so thus did not get a COPO # assigned to them.
