Default 1969 COPO Camaro Colors

I had a discussion with a friend about how many COPOs are accounted for in each color. So, I counted the colors of known & documented cars in our registry:

Champagne - 0
Butternut Yellow - 2
Glacier Blue - 3
Burgundy - 4
Azure Turquoise - 4
Frost green - 4
" " - 5
Burnished Brown - 11
Dusk Blue - 14
Garnet Red - 15
Olympic Gold - 15
Dover White - 19
Tuxedo Black - 21
Cortez Silver - 34
Rallye Green - 44
Daytona Yellow - 66
LeMans Blue - 79
Fathom Green - 82
Hugger Orange - 86

We have just over half of the 1969 COPO Camaro production accounted for.

What I know:

#36 Rampur Green [Cadillac]
#73 Verdoro Green [Pontiac]
#87 Windward Blue [Pontiac]
#8631 Can-Am White [Corvette]
X-03 Nugget Gold [Toronado]

Also believe there was a late production car in '70 Citrus Green. Heard of another that was believed to be '68 British Green.

Courtesy Chevrolet, Sebring OH ordered a number of ZL2 '69 Camaros with a special COPO hood stripe. At least two COPOs had it: 10 10 [orange stripe?] 67 67 [white stripe].

May be just a coincidence, the three surviving cars are also RS.

Awesome picture Bill. Hard to tell from pic, but looks like perhaps deluxe comfort weave interior.
