Dealer Order Procedures

one of the above questions is about GM using the COPO process other then Chevy. I don't know if Olds called it COPO but they were sneaky like Chevy and put over 400 cu in engines in some cars also. this is from an Olds site
""The 1968 Hurst/Olds was a limited production of 515 cars. It was powered by a special 455 with W-30 components that produced 390 horsepower. It also came with under the bumper forced air induction, better known as Ram-Air. GM was not allowed to put any engine larger than a 400 cid in any A- body car, so Oldsmobile originally marketed the car as being built by Demmer Industries, but later we found out that all Demmer did was add the Hurst Dual Gate shifter and console, the walnut dash inserts, Hurst/Olds emblems and the special black markings. Oldsmobile in fact had built and installed the Monster Engines without the GM bigwigs finding out.""

Thanks Kurt,
I had always regarded drive train components dated after the trim tag as inncorrect. Do any origial Drive train COPOs or Yenkos have an Engine trans or rear dated or cast after the trim tag date?

What is the maximum length of time a body with a trim tag installed would have stayed at Fisher Body, unVINed?

JoeC,
Sounds like a Cool Set up, do any exist today?

Do you think COPO Pete could get one to run a quick as his ZL1?

There are quite a few of these Hurst olds out there, I believe they built a little over 500. I don't know what the going price is but is a lot cheaper than a Chevy!!

Don't know about that! Pete has that thing COOKING! And, the best thing is, there is still more to come!
