COPO Identification

[Bad Boy]

I own the yellow Berger Double COPO that is featured on the web page, and it originally came from the factory with front and rear spoilers. On the cowl/trim tag, the D80 spoiler designation is stamped to the right of the X11 designation. Also of interest is the fact that when I pulled the engine to restore the car, I found that someone on the assembly line had written D80 in the center of the firewall behind the distributor with a grease pencil. I'll have the car at the Reunion if you would like to stop and take a look.

My car matches Brian's comments above.

It's an 06A X44 D80.

My car also confirms what Brian has stated, it is an 03B X44 car no D80 designation. However the original Yenko window sticker shows as the only additional cost options power steering and AM/FM radio. Does this mean the spoiler was added later? The stripes on the ends of the spoiler seem to match the other stripes which are original.

The air spoiler equippment is standard on a Yenko, so it would be an option and was factory installed but would not show up as an exta cost option since it was mandatory on a Yenko Camaro in 1969. It just does not appear on the tags till O6A. However the AM/FM radio on the list seems out of place. This was not a regular offered option on a Yenko. Are you sure it is not added? When I look at the car Sunday I will look for the FM clues.

I have wondered about this AM/FM thing. I have what appears to be the original Yenko sticker that lists power steering $94.80 and AM/FM Pushbutton Radio $61.10. The car has AM only. Either the sticker is not real or maybe someone made a mistake. There is about a $60.00 difference between the sticker and the sales contract, maybe they realized that AM/FM was not in the car. I am anxious for you to look at it. Also while we are at it, were the original tires E70 or F70. This car had F70's on it with what appeared to be the original spare in the trunk so I replaced the tires with F70's.

I believe an original AM/FM 1969 Camaro should have a jumper wire with an in-line capacitor connected to the blower motor and a fixed non-telescoping antenna.

Joe you are correct about the radio plus the AM/FM mast is different than the AM radio. Plus the original FM ariels have a larger ball on the end than the GM replacments that I see all the time. Correct tire size is E-70-15 Goodyear Wide Tread GT. I have been told that a few cars came with the Firestone Sports Car 200's but I cannot confirm that one..I also believe that the sticker you have is a very nice repo. Nothing wrong with that, just the wrong info printed on it. See you Sunday...
