Lets see the POP! . Note the guy says it's bought by an exec. in '72 and stamped Chevrolet Central Office....not a Production Order! . I'd suspect it could be a shipping destination to the office vehicle pool....nothing to do w/ COPO orders? . When was the POP made and who's name is on it....Central Office? ~ Pete

Another quote from the auction. [ QUOTE ]
Near the end of the old guys driving days he stuck the nose of the camaro out into a intersection and got clipped, the damage to the car was both front fenders, grill, radiator support, bumper and other sheet metal was replaced, the hood popped open and was not damaged, the frame horn on the passenger side of the car was bent and the body shop that fixed the car sent it to a frame shop for repairs, the car drives straight with no indication of dog tracking or pulling at all. At the time of repairs the car was totally painted in original rally green that looks very good but is not a show car paint job.

Just how can this car be "all original" when it was wrecked at least once in it's life??

Although "COPO" is mentioned in the title and ad he was very careful not to claim this car as a COPO. I didn't read any sort of COPO claim to this car just the Central Office stamp on the POP.

My beef is the all original claim on a car that was wrecked.

Rick....can you read the POP? . I don't see a close enough pic of it....only the one stuck to the booklet? . It'd be nice to see a close-up also one of the engine pad too....is that EE suffix right, I was thinking an M something? . MPO is the seller is a sharpie....the way things are laid out and read, he knows exactly what he's done/doing. ~ Pete

Can't be more than a few '68-'69s in the entire country running those optional wheelcovers.

Here's a closeup of the POP, and a mirror image of it. Doesn't look like any POP I've seen...

Did anyone email him for better pics of the POP? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Interesting reading Ebay '68 COPO Camaro
 

I asked him using the 'ask seller a question' for close-ups of both the pad stamping and the POP. ~ Pete

Re: Interesting reading Ebay '68 COPO Camaro
 

I know that in the Camaro MM is the correct suffix for the 327/275hp with Powerglide for a non-A.I.R. car. MN for A.I.R. cars.

EE is correct for Chevelle and Nova with 327/275hp with powerglide. I don't believe I have ever seen an EE stamp on an "original" Camaro.

As Denis pointed out I have not seen a POP that looks like that either. Sure doesn't look like the one I have for my 67.

I would really like to see that POP up close.

Re: Interesting reading Ebay '68 COPO Camaro
 

I thought it'd be an M suffix too....if someone's been playing the stamping game, looks like they didn't do enough homework first. . I wonder if they've used the EE on the POP as well as the motor? ~ Pete

Re: Interesting reading Ebay '68 COPO Camaro
 

If you get a pic of a GOOD pic of the POP post it and also ask for the GOOD pic of the VIN thats punched into ALL 68 Owners protection Plan Booklets that the POP is attached to.

EE is correct for a Camaro 68 L-30 without A.I.R. with the powerglide...I have a 68 T0702EE....

Re: Interesting reading Ebay '68 COPO Camaro
 

The guy did email me a pic of the POP but never got back to me again w/ the pad pics. . The POP pic wasn't readable but didn't matter as it's a hokey one....could even be what he got w/ it but not an original POP. ~ Pete

"she was in the process of graduating from Michigan State Collage"

"Collage"?,..I'm sure every Michigan State grad is groaning tonight. The seller needs "spellcheck" more than a sale.

Re: Interesting reading Ebay '68 COPO Camaro
 

I think he meant that they were doing a collage of pictures of Michigan State! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif
