Re: Possible COPO??
Well, even though these things could also have been changed:
Was the infamous radiator there? (4-core/curved neck) Did it have BB engine mounts and BB tranny crossmember? I did some checking at CRG also, is there evidence of hood insulation? (may tell a repop from an original). I'm guessing the guy didn't have the POP. Just a 'couple of thoughts before bed. -Mark Holman As for that "Z"... Could the 'C' be for the shoulder harness option?

Re: Possible COPO??
On the LA car, the C366 has no useful meaning, it does not denote any options and is thought to be a code tied into the week of production.
The potential COPO looks very promising. Another sign would be the Body number from the trim tag being out of sequence with the body number of non-COPO cars built during that time period. I don't have that info in front of me, but one of the CRG guys will probably chime in and give you an idea.

Re: Possible COPO??
Thank's for the reply guys. The radiator is not correct, so I discounted that as an indicator. I will check the other items. Received an E-mail from one of the members and he said that often times the COPO's were run in batches. On page 198 of Jerry McNeish's book it shows a VIN tag with a build date of 05A and is also an X11 car. The sequence number is ONE away from this car 286031 vs 286032. Another possible indicator or just a coincidence? Thank's Mark

Re: Possible COPO??
Looking at the #'s, I'd say it's a COPO that probably came out of Glockner Chev, Portsmouth, OH.

Re: Possible COPO??
Kurt
I got that same info from another member via an e-mail. Apparently it is close, by number to several other Glockner cars, that are known. I spoke to Jerry McNeish the other night and he said the owner of the car is from California and he is going to contact him to get more info for me. This car is a four speed car. Do you know anything about any of the other Glockner cars? Were they also X11 cars? Thank's for the help. Getting more encouraged every day! Vern Bauer
