I understand. I now must wonder if, down the road, the car I owned might somehow appear as an “undocumented COPO” from info gained from your research and this thread. I have copies of previous titles and am friends with the original owner, so IF that happens to play out, we can dispel the story. I can only assume your car has the tell-tale signs (piercings, etc.) associated with a COPO tub/shell. Now, that the pandemic is nearly in the rear view mirror, do you intend to contact Joel Rosen?

Carleen’s car being an X22, all the tell-tale signs of a COPO would also be found on an SS396 (L78) with factory ordered ZL2, minus of course if the X22 car were equipped with factory AC (which would make it an L35 or L34). The same goes for an X66. Now if those tell-tale signs were on an X11 or X44... Unfortunately once a car is fully restored, there’s no way to know if those items were there from the factory or added during restoration.

Carleen, can you post some pictures of your engine bay? Also, does your car have a BE 12-bolt rear in it? If so, is it date matched to your car?

That was kinda my point. I’m aware of “X66” Yenko cars, but am not too familiar with “X22 and/or “X66” COPOs. My former “X22” didn’t have the factory “Cold Air Package” originally, but the items were added not long after initially purchased. I’d be interested in knowing more about Carleen’s car and, like I said, I hope it is the car he thinks it is.

Window Sticker still on it

That doesn’t change the fact that it was a customer supplied car from out of state. It was not purchased from Baldwin Chevrolet nor was it sold as a brand new Phase III. Martyn Schorr even confirmed that!

Sorry but all I’m seeing is GL-BLU & RS. Also it doesn’t appear to be a cowl induction car originally at least from that photo.

First week of 9561 production, Baldwin didn't know about COPO's yet, neither did Motion. And the body # is normal production, as noted above by Dave, DW31S.

I have a document that states this car was sold by Brahms Chev in NJ and they installed a 427. Not sure of the validity of the doc.

Firewall - L BLU = light blue

Okay its not a COPO.
And its not BM Demo.
And its not Heavys Camaro

Good thing you pointed out that L BLU means Light Blue had never figured it out myself

Just an FYI:
