Would this car be considerd a COPO

that dash at the bottom wouldnt mean for the car to get the pace car stickers would it?

I was gone for a bit. To try to answer some of the questions:

On the 67 IPC documentation that I know of, nothing indicates that the IPC's were ordered as COPO's. The 'fleet code' does appear on the paperwork, which shows the cars were ordered thru the Central Office / Fleet & Special Order office as some type of special order. But no COPO number or other COPO indicator appears in the documentation.

There were actually 12 L35 Canadian IPC's. And at least three (including Jeff's) of those cars do not have a fleet code on the tag.

80055 is basically the dealer code for the Oshawa zone office. It does appear on other non-IPC cars. I'm not sure what GM of Canada says 80055 means now, but I recall seeing the definition vary.

All cars were built on the assembly line. There was no alternative off-line assembly process nor the room to do such.

I'm not a 67 Yenko expert, but none came from the factory as a 427. 69 was the first year for that.

I agree with Jeff, the 5 group dash probably just means 'special order - see instructions'. Normally seems to refer to paint. Has to be Fisher Body related since Chevy never looked at the tag.

Hope this helps...

Kurt,

Chevy had to look at the trim tag at the Body bank...

Here is how I understand the activities in the body bank outside of the Fisher door at Chevy:

When A body entered from Fisher to chevy, A worker entered the fisher body number from the cowl tag into the Chevy final assembly computer. This data corresponded to the order number and as specified by the dealer order form. The Chevy final assembly process computer then specified the "parts pick" of the components needed to build the car as ordered. This info also resulted in the printing of the Broadcast Copy essential for body lock and assignment of the VIN number.

Right??
