Is this a COPO?

[John]

I thought there was one maybe a few more in late 1968 that wer ordered as copo's .....I could be wrong.
...What does the trim tag look like?
...is your car corvette bronze?

Sam's half right... while its true the 68's didn't come with factory installed 427's, they WERE still COPO cars. Look for a 140mph speedometer, "magic mirror" trim tag and a fat front sway bar.

Show a pic of the trim tag. They were unique.

Thanks everybody. Here are some photos including cowl tag. Link to photos since I still haven't mastered the image thing here. I will check on speedometer and sway bar size.

Also, the car is Grotto Blue with very low mileage.

I also wanted to mention the vintage looking traction bars and BV code rearend. I have seen these in old photos. What do you think?

Doesn't look to be a Yenko trim tag.

May be a stupid question, but what's a "magic miror" trim tag?

Although the numbers on this example are different being it's a Corvair tag, look at the bottom area of this tag...
