[ QUOTE ]
Should Tom allow taxi cabs ordered through the COPO process to attend the reunion too? [/ QUOTE ] I thought that it was a Supercar Reunion. If you feel that Taxi Cabs are Supercars - let them in. [ QUOTE ] I have to agree with Mark on his point of view and obviously that's what it is, a point of view or opinion. To me, the term COPO is special in that it represents the 1969 Camaros or Chevelle that were factory built with the 427 engine. [/ QUOTE ] I think you are confused. A Supercar is a 427 car or high performance special request. COPO stands for "Central Office Production Order". [ QUOTE ] Only Tom can speak to whether they should be allowed at the reunion, but I don't think that a 325hp Camaro would be considered a "Supercar". [/ QUOTE ] Who ever said that I thought my 325hp car is a Supercar. All I am saying is that these are; Central Office Production Order - Special Events cars. Any one who would say that they are Supercars would be mistaken. These cars were made in fewer numbers than the Yenkos, and the cars with no fleet codes were made in fewer numbers than the ZL-1's. The 67 IPC 0-1 Cars were the ultimate COPO cars. Special ordered Show cars with direct quality control from Chevrolet upper management. I guess you think that that 68 Z/28 Convertible is not a "COPO" car beacuse it only has the special folding top. The Canadian cars with no fleet code, (mine) appears at this point to be the only one. I am only trying to figure out the process it went through to get made. DON'T WORRY I WON'T SHOW UP AT YOUR REUNION. [ QUOTE ] But the term COPO is now being overused to try and hype the value of cars when the option(s) added could be pretty basic. Once again, to me a COPO is a 69 427 Camaro or Chevelle. [/ QUOTE ] Are you REALLY woried about what the general public thinks? If so then maybe the Supercars are not so "super" after all. A new Corvette will eat any one of the "Supercars" for breakfast. Again we are talking about a car that need special permission to be made. A car that needed to go through a production loophole to be produced. A COPO car, not a "Supercar". ![]() [ QUOTE ] I could really care less and just got into this discussion to express MY opinion. [/ QUOTE ] Mark, WHY DON'T YOU CARE - You are a Camaro guy? |
