werty may be right, it doesn't have any emblems to specify what model that 69 is. It looks like a restoration job though, it's very clean. May have a custom engine under the hood.

COPO (central office production order) didnt have to have any markings or Designations,
hey could look bone stock, with just special ordered parts inside.

true, but i doubt it. look at the picture again, seems the exhaust pipes are too small to be a V8, im sure its just a V6

and beleive me dude, when somebody ordered a copo or yenko back in 69, they got the emblems.

Dunno guys, found it in google and the webpage said it was COPO. And they never badged their cars if you remember, they kept it outwardly standard.
heres a small picture of one which i am sure is a COPO.
PS: damn you ibf666 i was going to post those pics!!

you cant hide and pretend to be a sleeper, when your car sounds like a jet engine

We were talking about the COPO's, where does it say COPO?
and you dont order a Yenko, it was a tunning company that suped up the muscle car chevy's, mostly COPO's, cant remember where it was tho.

[werty]

well i proved myself wrong, i searched for the copo ad found the exact one we were talking about...and it is a COPO, actually very close to my house


anyways the point is, you could not say it was or was not a COPO just from looking at the pictures provided earlier. The COPO did not always have COPO emblems and obviously this one did not. The only way to tell is to look for the 427 big block.
