I can steal yours.
A friend of mine building a copy of the ZL1 # 3 and I said that it had COPO Paint when it was new. Tried to find pictures but have not been able to found any on the net.

Ha, ha, you can always try, my friend, you can always try!

What IS a COPO paint?? They didn't have any special paint did they?? Or do you mean this one:

No its the Paint on the hood



The Guys are saying that this is what some Dealer did.

Yupp, I realized that and found a NOS one on eBay for $49.99 and I bought it!

There are two more available if anybody else wants one...

None of the 69 ZL1s had special paint. ZL1 #3 was Daytona Yellow, an RPO color. Still has most of its original paint. Some, #55 for example, received custom paint treatment at the dealership.

There is a ZL1 site on Facebook:

William, did ZL1 #68 originally come with the DX1 stripe?

Just wanted to let you guys know that Michael Lamm also wrote a later book about the 3rd gen Camaro: "CAMARO-The Third Generation".

William, did ZL1 #68 originally come with the DX1 stripe?

Paul

Sure did; only COPO known at this time have been built with DX1. Looks sharp with the ducted hood. You can view the cars' $7919.85 invoice here: http://www.camaros.org/images/copo/copo8.jpg

Now restored and owned by Craig Jackson.

I just bought the Lamm book on Amazon used $6.06 with shipping. 

I still have a set of NOS black DX1 stripes in the boxes, because I really liked the look of them. But now that I learned on CRG that no SS came with DX1, I guess I should sell them on EBAY. Maybe some black SS stripes will come up for auction.

Who wants a used one?
Good find!
Regarding the DX-1, do you know it there is one set complete made of all vinyl and NOT a stencil for painting?
I think it would be nice to put it on and when you don't want it anymore, just rip it off instead of permanent painted one!

Used lets me buy more camaro stuff.

I don't know if they make a DX1 stripe kit that includes the entire stripe. These are NOS, and like the D90 stripe so the factory painted the nose portion and then applied these spear decals up the hood. Probably would only interest an enthusiast that "needs" authenticity, because frankly why not paint the entire stripe? Anyone know why they would use a deal rather than paint the entire stripe in the original build?

I wonder if a D90 decal is different than a DX1 decal, other than the length. Different part numbers in the AIM. If I get an NOS D90 stripe decal I will compare the two.

I agree with you, why a stripe made of two different material!
Personally I think a complete decal is the smartest way, easy to change if you don't want on anymore and easy to put back on when you're ready again!
....as always...if you want anything done, do it yourself!  I think I'll contact a my local decal-shop!

My understanding is that Fisher body did the painted part and GM applied the stickers to match the lines to the parts they installed.
