Chuck, The ZL-1's do have unique cowl tags, I'm referring to the body sequence numbers.

I thought every car has a unique body sequence number, not just ZL-1's. Based on that criteria, an I6 3 on the tree would have a unique cowl tag, too.

Unreal, can you elaborate on the unique body sequence? You would think because the cars were ordered in batches that the body numbers on #1,#2 would be in order, skip car #3 because it has an earlier number and the rest of the Gibb order would be in a sequence. Wouldn't this apply to an dealer order of any type of car?

It is time to clarify the COPO body number nonsense.

Unreal stated it correctly-ALL '69s have distinct body numbers. I have paperwork from a dealer that had about 100 '69 Camaros. Dealers transmitted Camaro orders to Central Office via a crude fax-type machine. If all were confirmed the number that later apperared on the body tag was assigned.

That means ALL Camaros, not just COPOs, ordered/confirmed at the same time will have consecutive body numbers. COPOs, 6 cylinder converts, Z/28s, whatever, may be in the mix.

The Gibb ZL-1s are a fine example. Based on the 'NCJxxx' order form # they were all ordered at the same time. From the data I have they were assigned body numbers 222001-222043 or so. At least one of them is not in sequence with the others; it is almost 18,000 units later.

Why? I have no idea. But it proves that a grouping of COPOs ordered by a single dealer may not have sequential body numbers. It is true that many are such as Yenko, Berger, Dale and others. It simply is not always true.

If Gibb ordered other Camaros that day one or all of them may be in sequence with the ZL-1s. In addition I have a loose 2220xx body tag that certainly did not come off a COPO.

Ergo a Camaro that has a body number close to COPOs is not necessarily a COPO. A Camaro that has a body number no where near other COPOs could be a COPO.

Here is what he says in his add with buy it now option

For what I am asking you could not have it restored or at least I wouldn't restore it for less than $60,000 not including the car and all the rare parts

so either he is selling the car and parts for 5k he himself says he wouldnt restore it for 60k

but I think he is trying to rip someone off

This time the body and motor are offered separately

Makes perfect sense to sell the car seperately from the "vin matching 427", right?
