Tiny dealerships in Canada were getting COPOS and a connected east coast (NEW YORK!) dealer doesn't know about it?? Hahahaha! C'mon.

I don’t see a lot of BS here
it was more difficult to get a COPO 427 then a SS396
Motion and Nickey both advertised their 1967 to 1969 Camaro conversions as
“SS 427 Camaros” and didn’t use the COPO 427s.
They seemed to have used the same plan from 1967 to 1969
Scuncio Chev sold COPO 427s and did 427 conversions
In the Fred Gibb interview 1991, he was asked about the COPO L72 Camaros and he said
“ We sold a few, but we did one or two change overs a week on our own. “
Dick Harrell had COPO 427 cars but also did 427 conversions
Nickey did 2 1969 Z/28 to 427 conversions according to the info on this L88 Z/28
