1969 CHEVROLET CAMARO COPO

When ordering a Camaro one could purchase anything from a grocery getter to a tire-shredding SS 396. While GM policy limited engine size for the A-body and F-body lines to 400ci a few performance-oriented Chevrolet dealers including Don Yenko and Fred Gibbs knew that it was possible to build almost anything. With the Central Office Production Order (COPO) process usually reserved for fleets a request could be made for a unique and specially built car. Since the 396ci big block was already available the 427/425hp L72 engine would be a drop-in fit for the Camaro. The resulting COPO Camaros quickly reclaimed Chevrolets honor in Super Stock drag racing and on the street. Despite limited traction they were capable of quarter-mile times in the low 13-second range. With simple tuning and slicks times dipped into the 11-second range.
