The Chevy Rumble car seems to be a clone. Way to start out a new magazine Little Buckeroo. Look at the staff, old Super Chevy guys. No wonder there is no research done. Just grab an old article from another magazine and shove it down our throats as facts. MMM, BS sure tastes good!...BKH

The article on the COPO Chevelles in May 2001 Car Collector magazine was written by Mike Mueller. He regurgitated that article from a Chevelle book he wrote in 1993. Same car same pictures same mistakes.

I saw an orange COPO Chevelle in Ohio, a couple of years ago....Didn't check it for authenticity, just took the guy's word. (he wasn't selling, just talking) It was unrestored, un-repainted, Bench seat, column shift auto. Guy said he found the motor, and then located/purchased the car, and reunited them.

I just missed a double COPO (auto with console and tach only) that came out of Jack Douglas. No evidence of it being marked as a Yenko, but obviously he knew about both COPO's.
I heard that JD got permission from Yenko to market the cars, esp since he bought the stripes and decals from Yenko. Notice that JD only sold one Yenko PA Camaro in 69.
Since they had approval from Yenko, I'm not sure what that makes the cars........

Call them a "Yenko Cousin" Same family,different parents.

OK...dad and I were talking about the BY Chevelle mentioned above. Weren't the COPO Chevelles pretty much SS Chevelles minus stripes? Did the SS wheels come on the Chevelle via GM, or via Yenko? Also, did it have the usual Malibu emblems, steering wheel, etc. all around? Or SS?

Now, with that said, here are some links to some pictures someone from CB posted over at TC.

The cars were basiclly SS cars with Malibu trim level. The Yenko 9737 package should have included the 15X7 rally wheels , but in his case it was not. It has SS 14X7 wheels with a Y center cap according to the original owner. This is the first time I have seen this. Mistakes do happen. SS wheels would be the standard on a COPO car with rallyes being an option. COPO Chevelles did not receive dogdish hubcaps and XT's like the Camaros. Joe C can shed more light on the Chevelles than I can. Perhaps the original WTGT's an rallys were stolen while at Yenko? This was not uncommon...BKH
