Default Re: Would this car be considerd a COPO

It was interesting to me that all the 67 Yenko 427's had the "dash" on their trim tag.
Couldn't belive that it was just a blue stripe.

Why would a 0-1 special paint car, need a second indicator to reflect a special paint accent.
Either it would have special paint or it wouldnt. The tag would't have to say it twice.

In 69 they used the -- "dash dash" to indicate the same thing. Either stripe delete, or special color.

I belive the the special -- paint code just made the paint operator look twice at the production order. kind of a double check thing. (It was special paint something - better check and see what it says.)

So if the Yenco cars all used the - in 67 to reflect the COPO engine modification, why wouldn't that mean the same thing with the Pace Cars?
None of the Yenko "dash" cars had special paint or trim.
Just Performance modifications.

At this point we don't even know for sure if the C-1 cars and the 0-1 cars were really the same color. Maybe they were different shades of white.

Chevrolet wanted to be sure there were no problems with their "Brand New Camaro", when the whole world was watching.

It only makes sense they would use all HiPo stuff for the Show cars. It is really too bad we don't have build sheets, cause that would solve the mystery.
