Chevelle Question......
 

So why do most people refer to the COPO Chevelle in 69 as COPO 9562? And when I look at all the Canadian micro films they refer to the COPO Chevelle as COPO 9566?????

There were 8 different COPO 9562 Codes available for the 1969 13637 Chevelle.Each had its own 2 letter suffix.
All had the L-72 427/425Hp Engine,and either an M-21.M-22,or TH400 Trans.among Various other components.
On top of that were two more Codes.Code 9566 AA & BA.
These were exceptions for the RPO L-78 Tires,be it Man. Trans,,or TH400 respectively.

I think that the only 9562 COPO cars were the ones with the 9739 COPO option. All the Canadian paperwork that I have seen has shown 9566AA. As for the L78 tires, that seems to be a mystery. Our COPO Chevelle came with F-70X14 white lettered Uniroyals. Our L78 Chevelle came with PW7 white wall tires. There certainly doesn't seem to be anything L78 special about them. Any thoughts?

I assume the L78 meant tire size...???

My GM Canada paper show ZP1 for C.O.P.O. tires [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Chevelle Question......
 

My George Zapora Canadian COPO Chevelle Docs show ZP1 as:TIRE F70X14

This Chevelle came with 14X7 SS Rims (Magnum 500) and PL5 Raised white letter tires.

Our COPO Chevelle with the white lettered F70 Uniroyals has no mention of ZP1 only ZP8, ZV6 and ZN1. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Mine show RPO L78 for the engine (396-375 HP)not for the tires

OK... I'll answer my own question. 9566 was the COPO # assigned to the cars that came with 14 inch tires and 9562 ws the # that was assigned to the cars with 15 inch tires. That is why the Yenkos are refered to as COPO 9562 cars. I should check my own research before asking questions!
