COPO question .

[COPO PETE]

As far as I can tell on the special paint deal on the COPO Chevelles is this. On both the Hugger Orange (Monaco Orange), and Daytona Yellow cars, on the GM microfilms it lists the option as ZP3. On the build sheets, both coloured cars have the 1001HA, which would be the COPO # I believe for special paint. The orange cars appear to have a 81082 # beside it and the yellow have 81072 beside it.

Pete,
The 1001HA code is for special paint and it was used for several years. Shows up on the window sticker too. Actually have seen a couple different suffixes...
The other code is the paint code.

COPO PETE & Kurt S.....I don't really agree fully with you......on the COPO code use of #1001HA...for 1969 anyway......I don't think it was use specific for Specail Order PNT, unless all RPO Colors were part of this also....I have quite a few 1969 COPO Chevelle build sheets and the Canada Receiving sheet, for lack of better words....with 10 COPO Chevelle's on it....I don't think it has anything to do with "ZP3 SPCL ORDR Paint colors, of Orange or Daytona Yellow(Bright Yellow)......All these build sheets/Canada receiving sheet have the 1001HA typed on them. In this format; B1795 1001HA 9566AA(FOUR SPEED),this is my COPO Chevelle,it's Fathom Green and a RPO color. The B1795 is the special order #FB1795, located on the build sheet and the bottom line of the trim tag.


COPO PETE....I believe your COPO Chevelle is B1072 1001HA 9566AA. Your SPEC ORDER #FB1072, should be there also, however the B1072, on your trim tag might have an "8" stamped on/near the "B" also?? for what ever that means, any input for the "8" anyone?

......I fully agree with your statement of Code "ZP3" being for Specail order Paint.

mr70......Don't know what to say about the"GOLD Wheels" LOL

Just my opion and/or input, though, regards,MIKE

[COPO PETE]

Mike, you are correct. The 8 in my code is actually a "B". Never paid close enough attention I quess.Yours is the third car I've heard of with a "8" stamped in the firewall tag. Interesting is that the cars coming to Canada are always listed in vin order on the sheet. The one car here with the 8tag should have been on that sheet, but was not. GM of Canada had a tough time finding it to verify it for the owner. The other one I know of falls just past my sheet #'s so I can't tell if it was posted later or not. Makes me think the cars with the 8 were short on a certain part and set aside till the parts came in. The two cars here are 64 vin's apart. GM of Canada list ZP3 as special paint and the 1001HA as special paint.

Hi All
The Chevelle COPO 9566aa of my friend Stephane have a 8 stamped in the
firewall tag on the bottom left corner of the tag.And a 18 in the top
right corner of the tag.
This COPO 9566aa Chevelle is a Canadian car with Special Paint
(Daytona Yellow) and GM canada paper show ZP3
The digit 8 and the 18 is a little bit bigger than the other digit.
Other Copo Velle have a digit in the top corner ?????
if it can help you.
