Werent there 1015 COPO Camaros produced by GM in 1969 of which 201 [20%] were Yenkos??

Over 200k now. approx 22 bids. I remember a really nice dark green Canadian COPO with full doc's having trouble at 65k a year or so ago. What's wrong with this picture?

Here is some info on COPO production provided by JoeC at this link dated Aug. 2000:

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/show...h=true#Post280

Also, in this link I believe this same brown COPO is nominally discussed.

JoeC - Another interesting topic on the COPO cars is the production numbers. Some people use the number total of 1338 COPO Camaros and COPO Chevelles built (derived from the number of engines produced) to estimate the number of cars built. The engines were built on a forecast of car production and I believe it is too easy to over estimate car production using engine production since it can be up to 100% inaccurate. There were situations where engines were assembled and stamped with a code for a car that was never built. If you use engine production to estimate that particular cars production number you would be 100% off. Another example is the 1969 ZL1 Corvette where over 70 engines were built and 2 cars were sold to the public.
According to Chevy documentation there were 700 COPO cars œin process” on July 7, 1969 including ZL1Ãs, Yenkos, COPO Camaros and COPO Chevelles. It is not clear what Chevy means by œin process”. What would be the trim tag date on a car that was œin process” in July? I guess the trim tag would get an Aug. or later date. If you take the 700 COPOÃs and subtract the 69 ZL1Ãs, 198 Yenko Camaros, and 99 Yenko Chevelles you get 700-69-198-99=334 remaining COPO Camaros and Chevelles built as of July Œ69. If you take the engine numbers estimate and do the same math you get 1338-69-198-99=972. That would be 972 engines left after July Ã69. ThatÃs a big difference.
(I subtracted the ZL1Ãs even though they were not included in the 1338 engines total)
If Chevy said there were 700 COPO cars œin process” on July 7, 1969 then they would have to have built 638 more COPO Camaros and Chevelles between Aug. and Nov. (972“334=638) to match the COPO engine production. I know the 1969 Camaros ran late into Nov.Ã69 but I have not heard of many COPO cars with a trim tag date of Aug. or later so I find it difficult to believe they could have made 638 COPO cars after JulyÃ69. How many 1969 COPO or Yenko cars have been documented with a trim tag date of Aug. or later?

Yes whatís is wrong with this picture four days to go and the high bid is 200.100.00
It has to be one of three things #1 Dennis is biding against him self #2 someone is yanking his chain or #3 some one is either dummy or has more money that he knows what to do with This is totally NUTS We have one fellow building Yenko series II
Camaros and we have another knuckle head selling fake cars and they are making good money at it I just donít get it

I sure hope it's someone yanking his chain. If it's a real bid, then I guess we'll all be selling stuff real soon! Maybe it's one of those Nigerian nationals that wants to buy the car. He'll send Dennis a cashier's check for more than the auction amount and he can just return the difference with the car. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Now that would be justice served

Yes, and then it will end up as an official Miss World Pageant vehicle, transporting contestants around [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img]

Now I know that the bidding is a joke 25 bids NOW at 325.100.00 what gives [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img]
