Great information about what to look for in a COPO. However, most would apply to any big block, although the only big block with X11 or X44 would be a COPO. This is good information for unrestored possible COPOs, I would not use it to confirm restored COPO. As an example, my X11 Yenko replica has every one of the items you cite, and it is clearly not a real COPO.

Minor point on the 9737, Center fuel gauge would only be used with in-dash tach. If the car was ordered without the optional tach, (in the earlier period when it was optional) the fuel guage would be in the right pod of the instrument panel (standard placement)

Thanks UnReal.
The credit for this list mostly all goes to You , William , Bentley and 1 or 2 other fellows whose names escape me at the moment.

I combed through the COPO section archives looking for the most relevant threads. Basically logging only the factoids that had been re-confirmed numerous times over , by numerous guys in the know.

It should get folks going in the right directions on previous unknown finds.
This is for the lucky guys with the lucky fresh found prospects.

Still has a little more room for more polishing.
Need more exact info about Muncie BB speedo cable hole and its routing.
And whether those differ from sbc.
Definite 4.56 and 4.88 COPO HD Axle codes

Didn't include the full list on everything. It gets really huge.
Early / Late ,
every X variant
Yenko stuff ,
on and on ......
Edited this listing mostly just for a Late X44 COPO , and the basics.


Its too much of a list to drop in one shot without being overwhelming to most casual readers.

When its more polished - could drop it ALL somewhere on the Forum
- IF - they wanted it all posted in 1 spot.



And Best of Luck to Wrench on this X44 prospect !
you better hustle your azz over there and see this thing !
