C.O.P.O. - Automatic Transmission
« on: June 13, 2008, 09:50:45 PM »
How many column shift automatic C.O.P.O.'s were built?

Can someone supply actual numbers or statictics or better yet some articles on this topic?

Thanks

I have seen a couple, but there is no way to know how many COPO's were column shift equipped.  Here's a CRG research report by Bill GLowacki with regards to the 9560 & 9561 COPO Camaros:  http://www.camaros.org/copo.shtml
1967 SS/RS convertible - LA 12A built

almost all of the Yenko 1969 COPO 427 Camaro and Chevelle AT cars were column shift.
Yenko then installed a Hurst his/her duel gate shifter in most of them

In my experience most automatic COPOs are column shift. 21 of the 22 ZL-1s were; only #54 had a console.

A good friend owns an automatic Yenko Camaro with a factory console; quite rare as most were converted column-shift.

As I recently pointed out elsewhere the existing L72 COPO Camaro body of knowledge is based on half or less of the 950 or so built. Plenty left to learn.
Learning more and more about less and less...
