Re: Phil Borris' 70 COPO Camaro
I can't remember the number off hand, but Phil's is one of a few cars that came with the BIG rear Z-28 spoiler in '70, before they all had them in '71. GM used this as a loophole so they could run it on the track. Or something like that!

Re: Phil Borris' 70 COPO Camaro
Phil will probably respond on his own......but if someone (else) knows how to do a search on this site.......shortly after this years reunion a thread was going on Phil's car and he already addressed the spoiler COPO issue.......at any rate Phils car is clearly one of the BEST restored 70 Z-28's anywhere!!!!!!.........Chuck Sharin/Seattle

Re: Phil Borris' 70 COPO Camaro
Autoinsane: the rear spoiler I believe was made by AO Smith Co to legalize it for Trans Am racing. This was COPO 9796 and it cost $36.90. This became RPO D80 in 1971 and when ordered on the Z/28 it replaced the std short rear spoiler...............RatPack...........

Re: Phil Borris' 70 COPO Camaro
Were there any COPO spoiler Camaros in '67? Not really a supercar qualifying COPO option, but pretty neat anyway.

Re: Phil Borris' 70 COPO Camaro
I believe the 1970 Z/28 COPO was for front and back spoilers because the 1970 Z/28 did not have a front spoiler and had a low back spoiler. The Trans Am racers needed better spoilers and they had to be stock Chevy parts and available from Chevy in order to make them legal for Trans Am racing. The 1970 COPO was another back door Chevy racing aid.
