Is it possible to see a picture of the cowl tag for the car in question? Neat, historical car regardless of whether it was ordered via the COPO system or not.

I think that the COPO world gets a little disturbed when they see sleazy dealers, and others, hanging the COPO name on anything and everything just to make a fast buck. GM had several ways of getting cars through the system in the old days and COPO was just one of them. If we work together instead of getting all strung out, perhaps all of these methods will become clear. It's not that many years ago that people thought that I was pulling their legs when talking about our factory 427 Chevelle. It was a little frustrating but they eventually learned a little. Same with the pace cars and others such as Ray Morrison's COPO Chevy II. I bet these guys also had their share of disbelievers. Our GM of Candada microfilm printout shows the 9566AA but doesn't call it COPO as such. Unless you knew the significance of the number, it looked just like another L78 car when looking at all the option codes listed. There is still lots for us to learn.

Man, you really are a rocket scientist aren't you?

1967Z28 isn't me...it's Jon Mello, you know, one of the CRG guys that you told me I should contact to learn a little bit about '67 Camaros??? I haven't spoken to Jon in months and can assure you, he could certainly teach you a few things.

For what it's worth guys, Pacecarjeff contacted me via email and got a little nasty when I wouldn't buy into his "my car is a factory 427 car just like the Yenkos" story. Don't waste your breath trying to reason with him.

Also, to clear up some misinformation he provided in this thread, the 80055 GM Oshawa account was a Sales Promotion Account, not a "Show car" account. Over the years, this term has been used incorrectly by some at GM Vintage Services - especially in the early days when much of this information was just being figured out.

Pacecarjeff...please do not continue to contact me with your little games, I don't care about your "special car" or your "trim tag collection"
