Address is a wealty neighbourhood of West Vancouver, there is no house at that particular address according to Google Map, Liscence on the car in the photo shows its in Ontairo along with some of the other inventory.
If anybody needs further research done on the individual let me know.

Don Stower's formally owned 69 Yenko had &quot;COPO&quot; written in white grease pencil on the crossmember. He has a photo of it but unfortunately I do not.

Don asked me to post his comment and these photos...

<span style="font-weight: bold">&quot;<span style="font-style: italic">First picture is how I found it 24 years ago and the second picture is my recreation based off of the tracing I made. It was put on before the exhaust was installed as the head pipe would interfere with writing on it.


Thanks,
Don</span>&quot;</span>

I am still interested in comments on why this would have been marked as such. 427 and 396 trans x-mbr would have been the same - right?

Thanks,
Sam

could it have had anything to do with Exhaust or routing of other items?

Since everything is virtually identical between a 375/396 and the 427 could it be that the Central Office Production Order cars required special care and notations on the assembly line and the &quot;COPO&quot; identified the subframe/engine/and trans assembly as special and out of the ordinary????

Also there are COPO cars documented as having &quot;427&quot; written on the inside of the fender extension from the factory.
