Daytona Yellow

[Mr70]

I have seen two 1970 Chevelle Super Sports painted Daytona Yellow, and Monaco Orange with the -- marks on the cowltag and in box 44 on their buildsheets.But my understanding is in 1969,Monaco Orange-code 72(Hugger Orange on Camaros), and Daytona Yellow-code 76 (Sunflower Yellow in 1970) were standard coded colors for the 69 Camaro's.It was the Chevelles that had to have them special ordered.Has anyone seen a 1969 Camaro or Nova too that had the color code showing on the Cowl tag and or on it's buildsheet?

In box 44 of my build sheet, there is no --. Those were left blank. Under the st there is a P and under the w is a xx. So am I right in assuming that other than the DY Yenko, we have the only two that came in that colour? And yes, my car does not have a vinyl top.

Pete - On the build sheet box 44 under LW should be blank and under UP should be blank then the P and XX like you said. Your build sheet sounds correct to me. I don't think anyone knows how many DY COPO Chevelles were built No one even knows how many total COPO Chevelles were built. There is the number 323 being used that is based on engine production but in my opinion it is more like 200 to 230. I can show you my calculation if you like but I dont have it handy right now. I would guess that more then two COPO Chevelles were built Daytona Yellow since it was a popular color.

Pete;

There were at least six D-Yellow Yenko Chevelles produced, probably more. Two of these were Yenko Demonstrator cars, one was for James Spencer and the other was for Mel Bogus. Three of these six went to various dealers in Wisconsin, while the other three went to Iowa, Illinois, and New York. All six were four speeds without vinyl tops.

My error.I incorrectly described the buildsheet.This car here has the same buildsheet and trim tag format as yours.
I did find a Daytona Yellow 1969 COPO Chevelle on the cover of the June 1989 NCOA Chevelle Report that is owned by a Jay Hughes.The Similarities between your car and his are uncanny.Then when I realized he lives in Puslinch,Ontario,I would assume this is the car you own today.Am I correct?

I have a 69 manaco orange COPO and in box 44
of the build sheet it is the same as you described a P under the ST and xx under the W and on my cowl tag its --. The info I got from GM of canada said 1001HA-Special Order
and it says it on build sheet under the RPO listings. Hope that helps Jeff
