Very interesting codes on the Canadian vs. American COPO cars.
Thanks,

Does anyone have the SS emblem on the steering wheel of their COPO Chevelle? Most of them used the Malibu Chevy emblem but I have heard that some came with the SS emblem just on the steering wheel. Anyone know of a COPO Chevelle with the F41 front and rear sway bars? This is a very low production option on a 1969 Chevelle. I have not heard of any COPO's with RPO F41.

This Byrne Brothers ad from 1969 is one of the few documents I have found that mentions a factory equipped 427 1969 Chevelle.

Joe, the black car at the reunion did have a SS wheel in it originally. The other original COPO cars I have seen have had a Malibu emblem.

JoeC, mine and the sister to mine, both have F41,but the rear sway bar was removed for ladder bars. And it's on my build sheet, also. Like I said, for a COPO, there are only two, that have the rare options combo, like mine. This is another reason for trying to get as many COPO's accounted for, to see how many are optioned out, like this car, on mine. Mine has the following options.
A01,A51,B37,D55,F41,F62,G32,G80,G84,J50,J52,*L78(L 72MQ),M22,NC8,PL5,P57,U14,U63,ZK8,ZN1,ZP8,ZW1. Shes laoded, and with two particial Build sheets. Special order#FB1795, Fathom Green, Trim 796,Dark Green Bucket
seats,B1795,1001AA,9566AA....Can we match the option list? The other COPO like mine, is a Le mans Blue, with white V-top, Still in Canada.

Mike - That sure is a loaded COPO Chevelle! The F41 makes it super rare. Here are RPO production totals according to a Chevelle book.

F41 Spec. suspension 722 units sold
M22 HD 4-speed trans 1276 units sold
NC8 Chambered exhaust 4143 units sold

Three of us bought COPO Chevelles at the same dealer. My car had the blue bow tie on the steering wheel. One had the SS and the third had the Malibu emblem.

Another interesting question on the COPO Chevelles is the underhood decals. In the 1969 Super Stock magazine road test of the COPO Yenko Chevelle there is an underhood picture. There are no visible decals not even a 427 decal on the air filter lid. The emission tune up spec. decal for the 396/375 engine could not be used so Baltimore would have had to use the 427 Corvette or Impala decals. Does anyone have any original underhood pictures or an unrestored car with decals? The sheet metal radiator top plate on my car is unrestored and still has the original Yenko decal with no signs of any other decals

[A69COPO2]

JoeC, from what I under stand, they didn't come with the decal, on the air cleaner. But most put them on, kind of a 90% rule, if you know what I mean. I have talked to many original owners, and I get the same out come, no sticker, but end up putting one on. I won't be putting it on mine. I still have the original box arms, still mounted, with green paint marks on the bolts, and the original sway bar, was in the trunk. I didn't know the rarity of the F41, but I knew mine was very loaded, for a COPO. After researching the COPO build sheets, I have, I noticed that only one, was option out, like mine. There were a few NC8 and M22's. But as you might have noticed, no one has spoke on the buckets, console, and Gauge package.I need a few more NOS parts, then I'll start the restoration, but not until I have them.
