COPO Olds

I have never heard of an offical way of getting what you wanted (like COPO) , but I have heard of many special order colors. Special powertrains? (maybe backdoor specials with Dale Smith but I have heard nothing else).

ZR900 You must be from Minnesota or saw the Silver Olds listed by the guy in the Cities? I dont believe that the car has anything to do with COPO rather its just a rare unusual car. 1972 V code Supremes, They are a low production number car but they also made alot of the fastback style and a some convertibles also.
Same concept as COPO take a Plain Jane and put a 455 with w30 options and a 4 speed but not worth the same coin as a COPO.

You could order the Cutlass Supreme SX and get the 455 in it. Not sure if same 455 as 442 or not. Have seen several in mags over the years.

I was thinking that the 66 w-30 was about as close as a COPO that Olds did. Only 54 made. Factory built race cars really.

If I recall correctly the 455 that came in the SX was a 2bbl.

Rainer,

--------There was a so called "mileage version" 455 with a two barrel, I believe, but the standard 455 available with the SX was a quadrajet. I know as we had a couple of them go thru Classic Motors back in the day with paperwork. Cant remember codes or any of that stuff.......Bill S

How about OWCO. Or Oldsmobile Wholseale Car order. In 1972`the two hurst olds models could be ordered on one of these forms using a code called Select-A-Unit. Dealers were instructed to use the OWCO form and select code 21 for W-46 or 22 for W-46. Codes w-45 and W46 were used for 1968 1969 1970 (Rallyee 350) and 1972. I am not sure about later years. Oldmobile was not big in the fleet business like Chevrolet (not having a truck division) so the concept of a special fleet division was not as prominent. The SX started as a Turnpike Cruiser option in 1967.

The car in question is a 1972 Plain Jane Supreme Not an SX. Oldsmobile made 77 of these cars in 72. They are documented by Olds and Ive seen letter head stating that there were only 77 made from the olds files before the fire. The were V code cars equipt with a 455 4 bbl, and basicly the W30 Package, all were 4 speeds pretty rare cool car but its hard to put a value on one.
