Re: X66 COPO's
You know, I'm pretty sure that there was a big feature on this car in that musclecar magazine that was put out in the early 90's by Car&Parts magazine. I have it somewhere but I'm currently packed up for moving so someone else will have to try and look it up. I remember it talked about the car being found in a junkyard and there something peculiar about the door jambs indicating that it was one of the very late '69's that was produced in the first half of the '70 model year.

Re: X66 COPO's
On late 69 carsm the driver door frame was modified to add a couple of raised horizontal lines to indicate where to put the blue GM certification sticker.
My October 69 car does not have them. but the overspray on the inside of the door is the original color of the body. Either somewhere along the line, someone replaced the door with a donor of the same color, or it was built with earlier design doors.

Re: X66 COPO's
I think the doors changed around August of 1969. Looks like your car got an early door. Did it still have the blue sticker? My Oct. 69 Camaro has the correct door and the sticker.

Re: X66 COPO's
No sticker....the doors had already been jammed when I bought the car. The car sat in a high school auto body shop for 13 years before I got it. I keep meaning to call the shop teacher/seller and ask him if the doors had been replaced.

Re: X66 COPO's
It would be interesting to see the documentation as I have yet to see an X66 COPO other than a Yenko. There were a couple of X66 COPOs advertised for sale out of Canada within the last few years. Both had issues.

Re: X66 COPO's
So did the X66 Yenko's have the curved neck radiator, blacked out tailpan, did they have SS embplems or were the emblems deleted with the COPO designation, and were they ordered as double copo's as well? If they had a factory tach would it have been a 7k with 6k redline?

Re: X66 COPO's
X66 Yenkos did indeed have a curved neck rad, black tail panel, as well as black rockers and 1/4 panel louver trim... but no SS emblems. (they were factory shipped with the base model style blue bowtie grill and tailpanel emblems, with a plain Camaro script on each fender) The X66 Yenko cars also had the complete 9737 package, but the factory tachs were not ordered in this first batch...aside from the 140 mph speedometer, they had no optional factory instrumentation, but SW tachs(and sometimes additional gauges) were added at the dealership.
