Is this a COPO?

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.

Car was in Fenton, MI a few years ago.
Just cause the VIN is close to a Yenko doesn't mean much. Lots of cars like that out there.

It does appear to be an original L78 car, had a restamped block last I knew.

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...
