Looking for info on COPO Canadian catalogs?

**LT1vette** · #1 09-09-2021, 02:43 AM

I recently acquired some Canadian "ONLY" COPO catalogs from GM Canada. Also a catalog called CSL "Canadian Special List", both circa 66-68.
I have over 40years in Corvettes, owning, racing, restoring, wrenching. I have most (95%?) of all the catalogs for this era.
I have never seen these catalogs... Can anyone offer some insight/knowledge?

Any info would be appreciated

THX in advance

There is an interesting tidbit in the front of the Beaumont Parts Catalogue concerning COPOs. I quote: "Each year a limited volume of vehicles is sold with Special Equipment other than regular production options. For service parts prior to 1967 refer to C.S.L. (Canadian Special List) Catalogue, and for subsequent years refer to C.O.P.O. (Central Office Production Order) Catalogue. Copies are available on request from the Parts Catalogue Section, Oshawa."

Dyment (in Mississauga, Ontario) used to be the supplier of all brochures & catalogues for GM Canada,

Hi Lee... Thanks, Dyment is out of business. I've never seen these catalogs in my years, I was looking for some insight from here. They didn't produce these catalogs.
Just when you think you have all the info, something like this pops up...

Can you supply some photos of what you have?

Never heard of these, curious to see what they covered.

I have seen some COPO codes similar to CSL but not the same.

One was the CBC (Chevrolet-Buick Combined)

was used for a 1968 COPO 9665 TH350 CBC transmission Passenger Chevelle Chevy II Camaro
