Chevrolet celebrated the Camaro’s 50th anniversary by announcing another release of the legendary COPO Camaro in an edition of 69 cars, matching the total production of the original ZL1-powered racers. Developed in close cooperation with the NHRA for legality in Stock Eliminator and/or Super Stock competition, this iteration of the COPO Camaro builds on a legacy established in 1969, when the first purpose-built drag racing specialty Camaro was designed to compete in NHRA’s Stock Eliminator. The COPO nameplate is a nod to the Central Office Production Order system, which crafty Chevrolet dealers used to build one-of-a-kind high-performance models.
No. 45 of the 69 produced, this example is one of only five finished in eye-catching Bright Yellow paint, in this case accented with Matte Black base COPO graphics. This is truly a no-nonsense, no-holds-barred drag racing machine capable of dropping the hammer to the tune of an 8.5-second quarter mile. The new-generation COPO Camaro was offered with a choice of engines that included the LT-based 302 CI V-8 rated at 360 HP, a 427 rated at 470 HP and the brute-force Whipple-supercharged 350 CI infusing this example with 580 HP at 8,000 RPM.
An $8,000 option, the 350 is coupled with a specially built 400 Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission actuated by a Hurst “Quarterstick” shifter with built-in neutral safety switch. Riding on Hoosier drag slicks and narrow front runners mounted on lightweight but strong Bogart racing wheels, the car features a carbon fiber domed hood with a prominent cowl-induction scoop, adjustable wheelie bars, parachute package for extra stopping power on those sub-9-second runs, a full roll cage and specialized instrumentation.
This exclusive COPO Camaro comes with a custom COPO car cover, a COPO book numbered to the car, an extra large Simpson Racing suit, signatures of all team members in the trunk and lead captain Mike Lawrence’s autograph on the dash.
