I would think the closest thing would be a Hurst Olds....aside from that I dont think there was anything comparable to the Chevy COPO program, as far as performance cars go.

No COPO for Olds, but I have seen many special paint - - 442s, W30s and some W31s.

I have never heard of an offical way of getting what you wanted (like COPO) , but I have heard of many special order colors. Special powertrains? (maybe backdoor specials with Dale Smith but I have heard nothing else).

ZR900 You must be from Minnesota or saw the Silver Olds listed by the guy in the Cities? I dont believe that the car has anything to do with COPO rather its just a rare unusual car. 1972 V code Supremes, They are a low production number car but they also made alot of the fastback style and a some convertibles also.
Same concept as COPO take a Plain Jane and put a 455 with w30 options and a 4 speed but not worth the same coin as a COPO.

You could order the Cutlass Supreme SX and get the 455 in it. Not sure if same 455 as 442 or not. Have seen several in mags over the years.

I was thinking that the 66 w-30 was about as close as a COPO that Olds did. Only 54 made. Factory built race cars really.

If I recall correctly the 455 that came in the SX was a 2bbl.

Rainer,

--------There was a so called "mileage version" 455 with a two barrel, I believe, but the standard 455 available with the SX was a quadrajet. I know as we had a couple of them go thru Classic Motors back in the day with paperwork. Cant remember codes or any of that stuff.......Bill S
