Re: 68 Corvette COPO
That would be the F&SO #, ie the special order #, for the color override. Not a COPO (no engineering approval or design required), but an order that still had to be approved by the Central Office.
Interesting, in the Camaro world, color overrides didn't require an special order #.

Re: 68 Corvette COPO
If it had to go thru central office, that makes it COPO, doesn't it? After all, there are many unique 63-67 corvettes that are considered COPO by their non-rpo color order with no engineering/special motors involved...

Re: 68 Corvette COPO
Ah, this topic again. It's been discussed some before.
It's in the definition of COPO. If a COPO # wasn't generated, then it's not. Lots of paint approvals and lots of fleet cars went thru the Central Office. They are special orders that required some type of review/approval (and some say ordered via a COPO process). But special order does not equal COPO. A COPO required engineering work and a COPO # to detail the changes. Most were trucks (changes in wheelbase, mounts, etc), some police cars, and a few hi-po's....

What does "F&SO" mean / stand for then? [/ QUOTE ] Doesn't it stand for "Fleet and Special Order"?

I think it's Fleet & Shop Order. ~ Pete
