69 L-72 Belair

[William]

For 1969 the L72 427 was an RPO (regular production option) for full-size (B body). Although not common, there were hundreds of L72 Caprice, Impala, Bel Air & Biscaynes built; I'm sure someone has the actual number. MCR did a story on a factory L72 Kingswood Estate wagon some time ago. L72 is right there on the order blank; the COPO process was not required.

There was a "COPO" L88 Corvette on ebay recently. That isn't a COPO either, just another RPO.

Remember the primary purpose of the COPO process was police and commercial vehicles like taxis. So a bright yellow 6/stick '69 Biscayne sedan could be a COPO.
