Sounds like he's talking about Jim Mattison's post a few years back about special paint cars.
Special paint isn't a COPO, though it also went thru the Central Office. COPO's required engineering, fleets and special paint didn't.

That is a contridictory statement. If the order for special paint was ordered through the Central Office Production Order process then it IS a COPO car. I may not be what people have come to expect a COPO car is but that is only because of what certain people in the hobby have come to expect of a certain label. There were lots of different reasons for and order to go through the central office rather than the normal dealer order process.

Is there some difference in the process depending on what you were ordering? For example, was there no difference in paperwork between a special color and something more complicated like a 427 Camaro that might explain the difference in terminology? Or have we just made "COPO" synonymous with "something cool"?
