Daytona Yellow 69 Camaro

[COPO]

Wow, that one is certainly a bit crusty. It does have a lot of signs of being a COPO with the BB heater core and single 3/8" fuel line. I would suggest pulling the heater core and checking the date code to help determine if it is original to the car. As mentioned the rectangular traction bars are '71 or later.

No documented COPOs that I am aware of from Baldwin and as I recall at one of the SCR's that Marty Schorr, and Joel Rosen attended many years ago they mentioned the 427 COPO program wasn't known to Baldwin Chev.

Certainly an interesting find.

I remembers this also
Joel said they did not buy COPO 427 Camaro and Chevelles
they did their own conversions

other things to look for are extra holes for emblems like the SS 427 emblems
or holes for side pipes, fuel pumps, etc

do you have a picture of the complete car?

It also has the bow tie badging as well as the cowl induction harness. It definitely has the appearance of a COPO.

I have only seen one pic of a Motion car that appeared to be a COPO but it wasn’t yellow and was without style trim.

The pics are from an article in Hi Performance CARS (November 1969) featuring the installation of the Hone OD. It was a 427, auto on the column, 4:56 rear. The article says owner Marc Cohen drove it back to his home in Ohio from New York, and referred to it as a Phase III car. It doesn't really say if it was a Baldwin purchased car or if he brought it in to be Phase III tuned.
