Looking back at the threat here, apparently Roger's HO COPO has 72 code..

Thank you for the help and responses. I have many pictures that I can post, but I’m having issues posting them. Could anyone here post them for me if I emailed the pictures to them?

I understand what tunes is saying,but technically don't go by just that,as anyone could've stamped anything to match.
Even in the 1970's,our shop class teacher was re-stamping engine pads to match cars ViNs.
Look at the overall car today & it's past history.

This is very true. You will need to verify that the VIN stampings are factory original to be 100% sure of what you have.

Rogers COPO is the exception as it was built @ the Kansas City Leeds plant as opposed to the Baltimore plant,where the majority of COPO Chevelles were assembled with the -- special paint notation for those 2 colors.

My old Monaco Orange Baltimore COPO has a blank paint code.

Possible L78 pictures that I received from Thomas.

The car was built on 6/16/1969 and was sold new at Blade Chevrolet in Mount Vernon Washington. That’s a pretty far distance from where it was found in a garage in Pennsylvania..lol
