COPO 9737
 

Was the sports car COPO 9737(140 speedo,13/16 sway bar,15 inch rallys) package available on any other Camaro than a 9561 ....

Re: COPO 9737
 

That's actually a very good question that I've never thought of before.

Re: COPO 9737
 

9560 also

Re: COPO 9737
 

#9737 is rare in a non-Yenko COPO. A few COPO dealers knew of it, Berger for one. At least 2 ZL-1s were built with it. It had 3 list prices over the model year and later ECLs included a factory tachometer.

No standard 1969 Camaro is known to have been equipped with it.

Re: COPO 9737
 

Keep in mind that 9737 was in use for several years and on a few models, so the items that were contained in that COPO changed each year. Just an FYI.

Re: COPO 9737
 

I think the original question was intended to ask if COPO 9737 was available all by itself and if it might have been available on a small block car, for example.

Re: COPO 9737
 

COPO's were available to any dealer, and could be had by themselves is desired.

Re: COPO 9737
 

So ...has anyone seen a documented 9737 COPO sports car package(140 speedo,13/16 swaybar) in a 1969 Camaro that did not have 9560/9561 as well.

If there were any shipped they've probably become well documented 9560/9561 cars by now!?.

It'd be cool to see one though!.
Also any non L78 '68 9737 cars too!.

I question whether that is true. COPO's could have dependencies on other options, just like some options had dependencies on other options.
If you don't order J52, you couldn't order Z28. In 69, L78 required Z27 first.
I suspect the same is true on 9737.

So the later Yenkos that had factory tachs, had them as part of the 9737? Were there any earlier ones on which he ordered the tach under the RPO system? Is there a time frame when Don changed from the S-W tach to factory tach, or was it on-and-off throughout the year?

Re: COPO 9737
 

Yes later Yenkos had the factory tach. My conclusion that 9737 included it later in the run is based on existing shipper copies for those cars, some of which are in circulation. The price for 9737 was raised to $184.34, U16 does not appear on the copy and the cars have tachs. As far as I know only 06A and later Yenkos were configured this way.

Not all early Yenkos had the S-W tach. The earliest known car N578693 had no tach.

Re: COPO 9737
 

William,
Thanks for the information. Does your research indicate that, prior to 06A, Yenko exclusively installed SW tachs (on tach equipped cars) as opposed checking RPO U16? Just curious if any cars, prior to the inclusion of tachs in 9737, were ordered with factory tachs.

Re: COPO 9737
 

I'm fairly certain U16 did not exist as an option prior to January '69 as it is listed as a change in the 1-2-69 rev of dealer ordering info. The first and second orders Yenko placed were prior to that; 202xxx body numbers were ordered early Nov '68; 219xxx ordered later that month.

The famous COPO service letter states that 9737 &quot;Incorporates a Fuel Gauge Assembly and four related service replacement items applicable to the Camaro 12437 Series vehicles only.&quot;

There is a chart that notes 9737 is “Used as a Vehicle Combination [underlined] with COPO option 9560/9561.”

<span style="font-style: italic">&quot;...There is a chart that notes 9737 is “Used as a Vehicle Combination [underlined] with COPO option 9560/9561....&quot;</span>

Obviously that part applies to the '69 cars only...is it dated?.
All above is cool info!.
Is there any factory paper you can share w/ regards to the 9737 equipped 1968 cars?.

Re: COPO 9737
 

The COPO service letter was written early January 1969 and revised July 25, 1969. So it applies to 1969 models.

The first draft states no units had been built under the COPO #s listed. The July rev states about 700 units have been built which includes Chevelle.

Sorry, my comment was aimed more at the '70 version of #9737, before I realized the initial question was specific to '69 Camaro's.
