Yes, it's Dan's old copo. When he found it the only thing that led us to believe that it was a possible copo was that the bdy # was just 4 digets away from LVcamaro's copo, also from Malcolm Konners. So, it was a gutsy purchase at the time. An NICB report later proved that it did come from there.
It's my understanding that MK added lots of dealer mods. If I remeber correctly, this car has a deluxe interior & got a vinyl top & spoiler.

So the body # being close to a known COPO is it or did other documentation from MK show up ?

I also think that the bdy # was only 2 digits away from the '69 copo Chevelle featured Sept 2004. I'm unsure about any other MK doc's.
I emailed the #'s to Ed C before the NICB confirmation & his response was 'I believe that's it's one of the MK COPO's' but, to my knowledge, he never actually certified it.

How could a Camaro be 2 body numbers off from a Chevelle?

Charley, 6161x11´s bio says: "collecting and restoring documented Camaros". Beside knowing the delivery-date, shown in the first post, I also believe he knows the invoice-date. So the invoice SHOULD be with the car.

According to Ed C. my car COULD be a Malcolm Konner car, but the NICB search turned up empty handed. My car has the body# before LV´s Camaro.
The car in this thread, LV´s Camaro, and other known MK-cars, are all well optioned. Mine isn´t.
Does anyone out there know if Malcolm Konner ordered any "plain Jane" cars for dragracing ?

Sorry. This transaction happened a while back &amp; I rembered this body # being referenced against 2 other cars, LVcamaro's being one of them. Perhaps the other car was yours COPO_ Anders. Did you ever dicuss your copo with Dan P?
It makes sense to have gotten a 'plain jane' from MK or any other Supercar dealer. Not everyone wanted options or were willing to pay extra for them. JMO

Yes Dan and I PM´d each other a while back. He said that Malcolm Konner cars are normally well optioned, and that one of the bodynumbers between LV´s and this one (not mine) was also a car from MK.

i think if i were a dealer "in the know", like MK, i would probably order a spread of maybe 5 copo cars, say 353000, 353001, 353002, 353003, 353004 and 353005. i would equip each car a little differently, by so doing i would cover my bases for appeal to different individuals. my bias as a dealer may show up in some of the cars, such as a highly optioned copo rs, although in the end i would want to make a return on my investment. i believe that most dealers at the time enjoyed their business and had loyalty toward their car marque. jmo
