Isn't it always strange how good old mother nature can destroy everything on a car except the trim tag? Let's keep track of the body number and see where it pops up six months from now.

The guy cant even get the tag right X44 base car yes non BBC/Non Z or Non SS350 ----D80 is the spoiler option not another X44

At least this one has part of the car with the tags and title
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1859780797

and the second one has a VIN starting with 123379 N701191 Very late built car--- 6 cylinder with a spoiler or was it swapped out long time ago. Another ? did Chevy install the D80 option on more cars to depleate the stock of spoilers at the plants???

I thought D80 was available on any late 69 Camaro. X44D80 could have been COPO, and 711, 71 71 could have been Yenko-COPO. However, if I am correct about the D80, it could also have been Grandma's car.

Question is whether the build date and body number align with known Yenkos or other COPOs.

[robber6910]

A discussion came about last month over at Camaro Tech about VINS, models, body sequence numbers, and build dates. I started an Excel spreadsheet compiling all of this data. For the date range and build date of that tag, it is possible it could've come from a COPO or Yenko. The closet thing on my spreadsheet is a COPO build date 05E, body number 340412. I know it's almost 11,000 units off but that is the closet I have as of date. The COPO's weren't built in groups so it's hard to verify. Can any COPO or Yenko owners verify their cars have a build date between 05E and 06A and within the body sequence of the tag 351473?

11000 units is a big gap! I know some Yenko Camaros that are in the mid 352xxx's. As far as I know, the COPO cars were built in groups, which makes the body number more relevant than the VIN in some cases.

[robber6910]

Yenko, is there any idea how many COPO's were built in a group (excluding the ZL1's)? I see some COPO's on my spreadsheet but they're spread out. If you want I can email you the spreadsheet and you tell me what you think.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

No, I don't know how many cars to a copo group. I just happened to have 2 body numbers from 2 Yenko Camaros that were close to that tag.

I'm a Nova guy [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] and I know that the smallest 'group' of COPO Nova bodies was 50 in '68, 50 in '70, and 125 in '70. There is a possibility that the smallest group might be 2, representing the two Canadian COPO Novas, but I'm not positive on that yet.
