Default Re: Orange/Orange RS COPO

I was at the Car Craft summer nationals here in Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN last weekend and had a great time checking out some nice Detroit Muscle when all of a sudden this beauty caught my eye and I had to check it out. I beleive it to be the same car as above with dog dish wheels on it. It had the Dale dealer emblem on the tail pan as well. I would have to imagine that this is probably a 1 of 1 type of car with the yellow houndstooth interior in a COPO. Either way it was a great looking car and I really enjoyed checking it out. Here are a few pictures for you guys to [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img] over. I hope that you guys enjoy these pictures.

Dale also sold an orange/orange automatic COPO; I worked with the original owner. Do not know if it still exists.

Didn't they have dealer installed Black Z28 stripes and were marketed as Dale Dusters?

The yellow COPO in the photos had Z/28 stripes added at Dale before delivery; do not know about &quot;Dale Duster&quot; ID.

BTW both of these were very slow to sell. The yellow car sold Dec '69; orange auto spring '70.

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.
