COPO's were not built with AC because they were supposed to be HIPO cars. AC would cause dramatic decrease in HP thus making it just another ordinary show car.

It sounds like whoever has got the high bid on this car, could possibly be a dealer. Looking at all the feedback history, he is the seller in most situations. Most of the comments read great car, beautiful car, etc.

Like any used car that you buy, you have to do your homework and check it out as much as you can. I would look real close at the speedo to see if it is a repop. The COPO BE rear has different internal parts then a normal 12 bolt so I would check that also. There has been one documented COPO Chevelle found that was built in Cali but don't know of any documented COPO Camaro from Cali

GM also didn't want to handle all the warranty claims from guys spinning the A/C compressors to 7,000 or 8,000 rpm. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

They were incompatible options, GM did not like to install AC on solid lifter cars. They did on the 365 horse 64 and 65 Corvette and again with the 72 LT1 engine. The LT1 had a reduced red line to prevent damage to the AC compressor.
A high reving big block would tear one of these compressors up.

Charley,

I like a good mystery. Until someone gets the better pic look at this one. I believe it does have the AC plenum valve plate. Greg

Hey, my car looks just like the "what it should look like" pic. Does that mean it is a COPO? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
