I came across this at the Kerbeck site
https://kerbeck.com/kerbeck-heritage-collection/


I think I understand COPO (Central Office Production Order) which allowed dealers to order cars with unique options.


There were a handful of normal options (dual roof, electronic HVAC), but, what might be the options uniquely added/deleted from a ZR-1 for COPO?

Police cars, taxis, fleet vehicles are all COPO vehicles!
My 1996 is a COPO!

Is it a taxi or police car? Don't remember seeing a meter in it or a lite bar on the roof? I do remember it being pretty damn fast though! 😀

While Kerbeck had an inside connection to GM to some extent I can't see anything special about this car.

Obviously either the owner (Kerbeck) or the web designer for Kerbeck's website doesn't understand what COPO means.

NCRS was kind enough to only deduct two points for my outside rear view mirrors.
I declined removing the "objects in mirror are losing" lettering on both mirrors.
Still there today.

There were no unique options on the car, it was ordered through COPO and delivered to Warren, Michigan which means it was probably used by either some executive at the Tech Center or GM Headquarters. The fact that it was yellow, could have also meant it was a "magazine" or media car, etc. :thumbsup:

Marty and I both owned the same car and looks like we share the same taste in custom touches. Here is a pic of mine. I got this at the Corvette Museum during one of our BG trips. You can find them online as well.
