Great car Roger D. Did you receive a POP with this car when new? For the SYC crew a ? What does AVO stand for? Thanks, Phil.

Here's a picture of the Cowl tag on my 1969 Dick Harrell Chevelle . . .

Also there's at least one known existing genuine Kansas Copo Chevelle isn't there?.

I have a copy of a Leeds buildsheet from another member here, it's a "- B" car that was originally Daytona Yellow...shows "1001HA" and "9566AA" on the sheet, and on it's tag (and buildsheet) is listed "AVO 226".

This same member knew of Roger's AVO 227 car long before Roger acquired it or started looking for it...

Fairly certain I've seen at least one other 72-72 paint code on a COPO chevelle. Seems it was at SCR a couple years ago? On orange SS cars I've only seen - - Yet another reason I'm thinking this was more than an SS from the beginning. Any of you Chevelle guys know of any 72-72 coded 69 Chevelles?

Doesn't Mark Hassett have one?

My buddie's COPO Chevelle, that he bought new, was Monaco Orange.

I just sold a code 72 72 Super Sport Chevelle project car. I had a Baltimore built Copo Chevelle a while back and it was - - on the trim tag.

Seems they could go either way... 72-72 or - -. I'm still putting my money on this DH Chevelle being a factory 427/COPO car.

Harrell converted '68 COPO Chevy IIs to 427 power, so he was definitely aware of the COPO system and had dealers who would supply him. My Baltimore tag is somewhat different and it is also different from our Baltimore 396 car's tag. It sure would be nice if this car turned out to be a COPO. A real SS car would be nice too. Nice find.

Here's the Kansas Copo engine thread from a couple years back that Anders is referring to..
There's obviously controversey over the stampings but nothing is conclusive so the noted Vin worth comparing w/ the Vin of Roger's car..

Here also is a Team Chevelle thread w/ the same engine topic..

Keith, do you recall if your friends Copo had the 72/72 or '--' on the tag?.

And again is the 'L' on any known Copo Cowl Tags or only on SS cars?.

Too bad the original rear is gone as it'd sure clear up some info!.

And Roger, what was the answer on the POP existing or is there any chance there's any paperwork w/ POP imprints still around as it'd probably have the rear code too?.
