This Concours award-winning 1969 Chevy COPO Camaro is for sale from Legendary Motorcar Company of Halton Hills, Ontario, Canada.
COPO, for the uninitiated, stands for Central Office Production Order. It was how special options not specified for a particular car could be requested. This allowed for the configuration of vehicles that would not normally exist. In many cases, a COPO was used to equip police cruisers, cabs, or other special-use vehicles. In the case of the Chevy COPO Camaros, it allowed higher performance parts to be used than were listed on the Camaro order sheet. GM had an edict that F-Body cars (Camaros and Firebirds) could not be equipped with an engine larger than 400 cubic inches. With the COPO, you could stuff that hellacious L72 427 pumping out 425 horsepower under the hood, along with a host of other high-performance goodies.
