The two 4.56 BE COPOs Steve noted are well known in the hobby. Others are possible.

BT is the code for the 3.55 posi axle. 4.56 was special order only [COPO 9511] for '69. There is a 9511 Z/28 with 4.88s; believe that code is BX, same as '68.

Data indicates 997 L72 COPOs were built. Current body of knowledge includes about 450 cars. Plenty left to learn about COPOs.

Interesting, NM motor, oops! Thanks for posting the dealer invoice.

I've always wondered on these Copo 4.56 rears, who installed the gear set? Having the BE stamp you would not expect Eaton or Norwood to have installed the 4.56 gear set. Was it up to the dealer to install the 4.56?

Is there any BW (4.56) or BX (4.88) Rear End found on a 69 Camaro?

Sorry, I didn't see Williams post, Thanks

There are two typos on the paperwork. The first is the NM instead of MN, and the rear is 0612 BE not 912 BE....BKH
