Where COPO's Go To Die

[GM_427_Racer]

According to the COPO list I have, the field car is not on it nor is it on the Yenko Registry List.

Still sounds like a good road trip Gary, kudos to you and whitetop for trying. I really hope you find your old Yenko someday or at least find out what happened to it.

I was told it was a copo by numerous people and just spoke with a guy and said the 120 mph speedo and no tach does not mean anything and the vin not on the list does not mean anything either that the copo list is of known cars


I have zero interest in this car was just curious if it is an original copo or not.

Please correct me if I’m wrong here but a Yenko should have a 140 mph speedo due to being double copo 9561 & 9737. This car looks to be a 9561 which would have the 120 mph speedo.

All 69 Yenkos are COPOs, but not all COPOs are Yenkos! All 69 Yenkos were Double COPOs. We all know that, but more to the point, Very few Non-Yenko COPOs are Double COPOs, so 120 Speedo would be the norm for COPOs.

!2 Bolt, B/B heater Core, X44D80 on the tag, Bowtie emblem, someone who knows the car says it was a 427, etc, etc........I'm betting COPO.

Maybe the $30K offer was from someone who knew the 12 bolt is a BE, or knew where the motor is, or both! Still probably cost more that it's worth to restore, even if the car was purchased for $1.

I am no expert, I do know what my car looked like and this is not my car and more importantly, actually based on the VIN, this is not my car. Is it a 427 car? Maybe it could have been, but I was not going to get a jack to see if it is a BE 12 bolt. Looking at the car objectively, maybe the rear end is the only thing that is worth anything and that might be a crapshoot. If the engine is down the street, then I guess the car would be worth more, if the engine could be purchased but this project would take a whole pile of cash, I mean piles and piles of dead presidents (Ben Franklins).

The VIN as I read it on the dash is 124379N664592. So, if there are some experts (and I know there are quite a lot on this site), maybe they have some lists that are better than mine and they can verify something based on this VIN. I was going to pull the cowl panel, to look at the hidden VIN, but once I confirmed it was not my car, did not see the point of it.

There is no COPO VIN list. There is a Yenko Camaro VIN list.

Exactly, the only complete COPO VIN list that exists is for the 9560 ZL1.
