Both. I know that they made the cars and somewhere they fell thru the cracks and didn't make the guide. Sorry my count was off. I have always thought it would make a great race car.

The COPO 9010 was the "base " 360HP/350 CI engine option for the Nova---the COPO 9737 was known as the "sports car conversion package" which offered the F40 suspension and other components usually only found in the 427 COPO Yenko Novas--- you had to order the COPO 9010 to get the COPO 9737 package ---you could not order just the COPO 9737 package separately in any other Nova-- that is WITHOUT ordering a COPO 9010 car--hope this clears it up--- but without exception every COPO 9010 went to Yenko --their were a "few" exceptions 2 cars were known to go to a Canadian Chevy-Olds dealer in London Ontario, Canada he ordered 10-12 COPO cars but eventually only got the 2 cars a light green and a silver car--- the silver car was destroyed years ago the green car still exists--- NO other cars were known to have been ordered by or shipped to any other US or Canadian dealer-- what you got with a COPO 9010 was a" Z-28 Nova"--- Yes I feel they should be included ---the fact that Chevy did not "submit" paperwork either then or now is a mute topic---other "oddball" combination cars have been allowed to compete under "questionable" circumstances--MY PERSONAL OPINION ONLY HERE---FED 387

You are correct on the COPO 9010/9737 deal. It's doubtful if any 9010 only cars were ever produced.

Anyway, Central Chevrolet-Oldsmobile in London, Ontario Canada was the dealership that got the two non Yenko cars. The silver car is well documented and was alive and well as of 2008 as several magazines did articles on it. Hope the rumors of it's destruction aren't true.

I seriously doubt that anyone would take on the work to put this in the guide to fix history.

It's a shame they aren't in the book because I would have certainly built mine as an LT1 car when I first put it together. The Camaro's run good so it'd have been a fun combination to try.
