69 COPO chevelle buildsheet

[A69COPO2]

REDZ, I know your car, Black on Black, your car, is almost like mine, but yours, I believe is a Bench seat car, and mine is a bucket seat/console, tac/gauges,M22, chamber exhaust car. My car is specail order # FB1795, Fathom Green car, #404108, I also have the same Z-codes as yours. I've been researching these build sheets, for over Five Years. I would be more then glad, to collect all build sheets, and brake it all down. I have most of the Canada COPO, accounted for. Been trying to account for as many as Possible. As of now, I have over 50 COPO Chevelles accounted for and most are still alive, and well. I'll take the task, bring it on. MIKE

JoeC, all the build sheets, I have, are broken down, as you stated. The 1001HA, is on all my Canada COPO's, where as the USA COPO's are 1001AA, make sence? I know of the build sheet, your referring to, and it does cause some confusion, PL5 verses P57, don't know why, good example though.

Marlin, yes, all COPO Chevelle, sent to Canada, did have the same codes, I believe it was madatory. V48=heavy duty Coolant, ZQ7, was for the Canadian warranty booklet(both english&french writing, W84+additional fuel delievery. I beleive the ZV6=M20 four speed, as to ZV7=M21, and ZW1=M22. What I have noticed is, most of the COPO Chevelle's sent to Canada, had the NC8=chamber exhaust, and to think they only had a little over 700 Chevelles, receive this option. MIKE

Stephane send another letter to GM Canada for more Info about the codes ZR3 and ZR8

The guy of GM-Canada on the second letter have changed the Code
ZR3 by The Code ZP3 ???
And the code ZR8 by the Code ZP8 ??? with no explanation

For GM The Code Z in first position = Special ??
For GM The Code R in second Position= Racing ??
For GM The Code P in second Position=Performance ????
For GM The Code W in second Position =?????
For GM The Code Q in second Position= ????
For GM The Code N in second Position=?????
For GM The Code K in second Position=????
For GM The Code L in second Position=Engine????

For GM the CODE L in first Position = Engine Style(LT1-LS5-LS6-LS7-L48 Ect.....)
This is just a theory about the code Z

The Code ZR8 exist in 71/72 For Camaro Z28 Striping
and the code ZR1 exist for a Corvette in 71 or 72 this is a special vette 350 LT1 ( low Production)
and The Code ZR2 exist for a Corvette in 71 or 72 This is a special vette with 454 (very low production)

And for finish the Code LT2 exist This is a code for a 454 Prototype all aluminium built in 1970 for replacing the ZL1

This car Was registery in the supercar registery

Sorry for my english

copo9566aa - Did you find a build sheet in Stephane's car? I have the ZP8 on a build sheet but cannot read the complete discription. It is ZP8 MFG Sxxxxxx and the ZP3 I have seen on a 1970 Chevelle with special paint two dash trim tag. The build sheet reads ZP3 SPECIAL PAINT.

[A69COPO2]

JoeC, the ZP8, is for Manufactor statement of orgin,Fron USA to Canada and the ZP3, is for specail Paint, Daytona Yellow or Monaco Orange. Most of the build sheets, I have, for CANADA, state this. Kind of like today, when selling a car, over seas, it has to have it, to be free of duty taxes or when tranferring it to a individaul, of that country.
