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 Chevrolet's 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. This example is an authentic 1969 COPO Camaro in classic Hugger Orange and Ivory interior. Fully restored, it comes complete with original Protect-O-Plate package, installment sale contract, Roger Budd Chevrolet envelope package, 1969 pre-delivery inspection sheet. Purchased new by David A Griffin and previously owned by MLB great Reggie Jackson. It's equipped with a V8 engine, Muncie 4-speed manual transmission, 12-bolt Camaro axle and correct brake booster.

This COPO is equipped with a matching-numbers engine and correct date-coded drivetrain.
