Re: Garnet Red COPOs
My car is red. I bought it '84 in Lorain, OH and had another red/ blk top car to look at in Cleveland but I bought the first one. C K Spurlock had a red/ blk top car that was in a few magazines. I always wondered about the info on these cars as they were all simliarly optioned Style trim, Red Blk top cars. Mike keener raced one optioned like these cars. (Pic attached). Always have wondered what happened to these cars and if they were possibly related.

Re: Garnet Red COPOs
Indeed Garnet Red was common, but how does one go about documenting how many of any given RPO were this color from the factory?

Re: Garnet Red COPOs
Can't be documented, only guestimated using the color breakdown by percentages, and then multiplying by the 1000 or so COPOs. Not sure if the 1000 number includes the 198 (or 201) Yenkos, but if it does, then you would take the percentage times 800.
Of course that assumes the ratio of colors across the entire population, which includes grocery getters, is the same as that for muscle cars. Pretty questionable assumption, in my opinion.
