Would this car be considerd a COPO

Although I like the drunk idea (which may be the actual reason?) another thought is maybe the special paint was noted twice as in upper/lower and the guy on the tag machine was maybe used to the upper/lower thing? ~ Pete

As far as I know, the paint code is always listed 2x - once for top, once again for the bottom. So, the use of two dashes is nothing significant.

The paint code on the festival Pace cars is 0-1. (special white, w/white top)
The dash is at the end of the 5th option group.

It was long believed this was a special added blue stripe.
I don't think so. No reason for 2 paint remarks on the tag.

So what motor is in the car....the original or not? . And if the original, what suffix is it? . Weren't you asking above if this was maybe a 427 conversion....and what Tach is in the car? ~ Pete

[Canucklehead]

I thought it was something he kept his marbles in---

Phil,
Yes, that is correct. As the car entered the Chevy side, one guy looked at the body # to link the car to the VIN and to the order info and then generate the broadcast sheets.
But otherwise Chevy pretty much ignored the tag. It had no value to them.

This info also resulted in the printing of the Broadcast Copy essential for body lock and assignment of the VIN number.

One clarification: VIN was assigned as the car right as it came to the Chevy side. The linking of the body # and order info didn't generate / affect the VIN assignment.
