Trim tag reads “X22” and body number about 500 units before this one. I sincerely hope Carleen’s car is what it is claimed to be, but the one I had bears many similarities and was definitely not a COPO. I have pics of the tag and the car dressed in ‘69 livery if anyone wants to see them.

You cant see on the Trim Tag if it is a COPO or not

Although this car appears to be a COPO, it is 100% not a “Baldwin Motion” it was an out of state customers car that was driven to Motion for modification.

Me pointing this same car out in a previous thread:

I understand. I now must wonder if, down the road, the car I owned might somehow appear as an “undocumented COPO” from info gained from your research and this thread. I have copies of previous titles and am friends with the original owner, so IF that happens to play out, we can dispel the story. I can only assume your car has the tell-tale signs (piercings, etc.) associated with a COPO tub/shell. Now, that the pandemic is nearly in the rear view mirror, do you intend to contact Joel Rosen?

Carleen’s car being an X22, all the tell-tale signs of a COPO would also be found on an SS396 (L78) with factory ordered ZL2, minus of course if the X22 car were equipped with factory AC (which would make it an L35 or L34). The same goes for an X66. Now if those tell-tale signs were on an X11 or X44... Unfortunately once a car is fully restored, there’s no way to know if those items were there from the factory or added during restoration.

Carleen, can you post some pictures of your engine bay? Also, does your car have a BE 12-bolt rear in it? If so, is it date matched to your car?

That was kinda my point. I’m aware of “X66” Yenko cars, but am not too familiar with “X22 and/or “X66” COPOs. My former “X22” didn’t have the factory “Cold Air Package” originally, but the items were added not long after initially purchased. I’d be interested in knowing more about Carleen’s car and, like I said, I hope it is the car he thinks it is.
