X-44 COPO Camaro question

  

mow_pro -> X-44 COPO Camaro question (3/27/2007 11:23:37 PM)

So here is my question. I just purchased a 69 camaro from a guy and it has a X-44 on the cowl tag. I have been looking on the net and see all the X-44's are COPO's are clones. What makes it a real COPO. I am not completely dumb but how do you know if it a COPO or not? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

The X44 rpo is for a 'base coupe'  However, the 'base' in this instance is for a street performance pacage that is not a Z28, SS or SS/RS.  This Base coupe had all the upgraded stuff, just no badges, making cloning a COPO quite easy.  A 454 425HP was standard for these "base" coupes. Look at the heater area, is it designed for a BBC or a SBC.  Also if it has A/C (factory) I would say its not a COPO.  Original COPO Camaro's are quite rare and quite valuable.  I watched one a few months ago on Jackson Barret go for 450,000 bucks.  For that I would imagine you would need authentic documentation.

The heater core from what I can tell is set up for a small block. So it is not a real COPO then?

nope, sorry.

COPO's came with a BBC.  Do you have any pictures of it.  or one of the cowl tag.  I would think if its an original COPO the seller would have the build sheet or the Protect-o-plate.
