1969 L88 Corvette COPO

[olredalert]

----Mecums listing states that its the M-22 that makes the car a COPO, but that just isnt so. My Monaco Orange 69 L88 had an M-22 on the window sticker and I know of many others. I also just looked in the "ol fact book" and 101 M-22 1969 Corvettes are listed as produced at a $290.40 premium. There probably is some validity to the rear gears as I believe that all you could order thru normal channels was a 4:11.

----As well, Dennis Ahrens original L88 (a really well known Chicago area L88) was delivered with a 4:56. Terry M had the car listed as sold and didnt mention COPO. Usually Terry will talk up anything even remotely rare. Not sure weather the rear choice is COPO or not but, at least, theres a second one! Terry also made a statement in his listing that the Ahrens L88, which was extensively drag raced, had a best time of 10.82 at 156mph. Id love to see anyone run a high 10 and run over 150. Dont believe it can be done.....Bill S
