I'm betting he didn't have to send some of those "taxi's" back or out to other dealers from sticker shock though. |

I will have to ask Helen this weekend, I've heard the same story. Bet some of the first Gibb COPO's were sixes. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

"By the time GM figured out that LaHarpe's 6000 population couldn't support a fleet of 50 taxis, it was too late."
I've heard the same story a few times about the Gibb Taxi 'fleet'. Never thought about asking Helen for verification. DUH! The best available resource is right in front of us this weekend! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif |
Re: When did GM first introduce the COPO option ?
I was day dreaming when I said late 68. I was thinking Camaros and Chevelles not the whole C.O.P.O thing but I didnt know it went that far back.

I ordered a new 1969 Corvette that had a number in the COPO box on the build sheet, It was a non standard color trim body color combo The build sheet said SPECIAL PAINT

here is an interesting article on a COPO
this looks like about 1964 or 65 As far as I know, The first use of a COPO to build a fleet of race cars was the Yenko COPO on Corvairs Yenko used Corvair COPO 9513A and 9681E and others in 1966 there was a COPO 9719A 1965 Chevelle with 396 L-78 and other hi po parts that was not a RPO Z-16 |
