Default Re: 69 Ca. Yenko ?

Jack Head Chev in CA had a few ZL-1s, may have had access to other COPOs.

Speaking of which a few months ago I asked if anyone had evidence to indicate COPO Camaros were built at Van Nuys. Anyone come up with anything?

Were the network of dealers for the '69 Yenko cars the same as the '70 Deuces?

Some dealers were added to the Yenko Duece program as others dropped out from the 427 program. Some dealers were the same with name changes for '70. The network changed somewhat again with the Stinger Vega program...BKH

I have heard of documented COPO Camaros built in CA but have not seen one. I did see a documented COPO Chevelle from CA.
In the Jim Mattison COPO interview in MCR, Jim did state that he remembered some COPO Camaros were built in CA. It would be nice to see one with solid documentation to really believe it though. The CA style trim tag may make indentification more difficult.

JoeC you may have been referring to my COPO Chevelle built in California. The originating dealer was Jack Head Chevrolet in Alhambra California.
