Re: Orange/Orange RS COPO
Who knows?
There were 1,015 L72 Camaro engines shipped from Tonowanda. Lets say 90% were installed in cars; a bit over 900. There is much known about COPOs delivered to Yenko, Berger, Scuncio, Jack Douglass, Emmert, Canada. Of the 6,000+ Chevy dealers in '69 this is a small group. No matter how you add it up they account for maybe 500 cars. That leaves 400+ L72 Camaros we know nothing about. We continue to mash the same data.
Despite the attention given some of these dealers, many only had a few COPOs. Dale is a good example; from what I have pieced together they had 6 L72 Camaros. At least one of them [Rallye Green] became a full-time race car and is probably lost in time. Two others are not known to exist.
Plenty left to learn about COPO Camaros.
Dale also had orange/orange and yellow/yellow JL-8 Z/28s. I briefly owned the orange car. A friend had the yellow one, also an RS with black vinyl. Both still around somewhere.
