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....

Re: 68 Corvette COPO
from the archives..
[ QUOTE ] It appears that your car was special ordered through the Chevrolet Fleet & Special Order Department (many of you folks call it the COPO Group). During the years that I was a part of this group, we processed many orders for vehicles with special paint. Although these vehicles were ordered with "special paint", they are not considered to be COPO cars. I'm surprised that more of these "special paint" cars haven't shown-up, as many of these orders were for performance cars. [/ QUOTE ]
