It would be exactly what I bought, a L78, manual brakes, power windows, teak wheel, side pipes & knock-offs. Although I might have gotten red leather (if you could, not sure).

Since this is a COPO order, I think I should be able to rob the GM parts bin:
Start with 65/66 base convertible
67 BB Hood
Silver Pearl with Black Stinger
'67 headrest seats
Red interior
'63 gauges
'63 Grand Sport knock off wheels
AC, PS, PB, PW
Radio
Side pipes
Reverse lights
3.36 posi
4 speed
The centerpiece: A de-tuned for the street all aluminum 1963 Grand Sport "left over" 377 small block with the gorgeous cross ram intake & side draft Carbs. We'll all assume it fits under the 427 hood...

Well, since I already have the one in my signature, here's what the NEXT midyear would be. This would be "big brother" coupe to my "little brother" convertible.
67 coupe
390 big block
Red outside, white stinger
Red/white two-tone inside
Power brakes, steering and windows
A/C and TI
Off road exhaust
4 speed M-20
Headrests and shoulder belts
Rally wheels with redline tires
Telescope column
36 gallon fuel tank
Kind of like this one, except no side pipes.
