What to look for when looking at a COPO???

[elonblock]

Piggybacking on what others have said, here are some other clues you can look for:

Big block heater box cover

If the car has a tach, is it a big block tach?

Cowl induction throttle arm

Single fuel line

Big block springs in the front and rear.

Big block engine mounts

No badging holes on front fenders

Standard grill

As many have already said, there can be a lot of the COPO stuff added to a car, but not everybody does a thorough job of adding "everything". For example a friend had looked at a car advertised as a COPO. It had all the COPO indicators except someone had drilled the hole for the cowl induction wiring in a different location from the normal factory hole.

The car looked really nice, but the incorrect hole told the whole story of a clone.

And have another pair of eyeballs look at the car also. If you are fairly certain it is a COPO car then it is well worth the money to have it documented or authenticated by someone who offers these services.
