Speaking of Bergers...Chevy454, when are you going to take Porterfields name off my car on the Dealer Links page ? :-)

Mike,
How many of the Berger's were RS's?
Also, were most of them console and guage cars?

Thanks!

I hope there are not too many questions here but I have a few more on the Berger cars,
How many 4sp cars vs how many TH400?
Were they all Norwood or were some built in LA?
I have read that Berger sold about 10 1969 COPO Chevelles. Were they also 9737 cars?
thanks

Consensus of opinion about the numer of Berger 69 COPO RS is 6.

It appears that half of the cars were 4spd and the other half were Turbo 400's. The 4spds were non-console/no guage (except of course for the speedo and tach) and all the cars ordered after May 1st of 69 had center fuel guages. All the 400's were console without guage clusters and also no dash guages. It also appears that the half and half transmission rule applies to the RS cars.

All the Berger 69 COPOs came from Norwood.

Berger did sell 10 Chevelle COPO's in 69 and as of 1995 only one was known to still exist. I do not know the current whereabouts of the car. I will have to check on the 9737 options for the Chevelles but I think they were equiped that way.

Berger also sold 1 69 COPO Nova.

You will have to fill us in on the COPO 69 Nova. That is a very hot topic around here!

In the Hooper Camaro book there is a picture of a 1970 Berger Super Nova with SS hood and wheels. It has a wing on the back and some graphics. Do you know if this was a COPO LT1 Nova or a 402 or 454? In the interview with Mike Mawee he said they did a few conversions but did not say what they were. The 69 COPO Nova sounds very interesting!
