John,
I don't mean to piss on your parade but COPO cars (9560 and 9561) as well as Baldwin, Nickey, Yenko, Dana, Berger, and other factory supercars had V8 vins. I'm no expert but I'm not aware of any exceptions. Even if they were not ordered via COPO, most had at least a V8 vin so they could get the proper driveline, etc.
Here is info regarding COPO 9560 cars:
