We all love the stories of how very special cars got snuck out the back door at the large auto manufacturers back in the dayand#44; and there is no tale better than the COPO Camaroand#44; or Central Office Production Order. Stripped of anything that didnt make is go quickerand#44; and stuffed with the baddest big block V8 aroundand#44; what resulted is arguably the fastestand#44; nastiestand#44; and most treasured muscle car of them all. But if it scares you to drive a Camaro thats worth more than your house or you want even MORE horsepowerand#44; this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro COPO tribute is just the ticket. Code-65 Olympic Gold is this cars original colorand#44; and it has been restored to the standards really make this car look like precious metal. Heckand#44; the shine is so goodand#44; it replaces the chrome of the front bumper. The modern clearcoat combined with great sheetmetal gives this coupe that kind of attention-getting luster it deserves going down the road or parked at a cruise-in. No SS badgesand#44; no RS headlightsand#44; just a base Camaro coupe right down to the painted steel wheels with dog dish hubcaps. These were cars that let its special motor do all its talkingand#44; and thats kind of substance is something we all love to see. Even the cowl induction hood is doing its part to feed the beast within. The front chin spoilerand#44; D80 rear spoilerand#44; and mirror-like rear bumper are pieces that you dont necessarily need for speedand#44; but on a well-sorted coupe like thisand#44; they sure do make going fast look good. Just like the exteriorand#44; the interior retains its original color. The coupe was already is such good shape that most of these panels are believed to be originaland#44; but anything that wasnt up to the standard of a deepand#44; dark muscle car interior was replaced. While most COPO cars even made a sacrifice in the interiorand#44; this tribute has a few nice features left inside. Not only do you see it in the optional deluxe bucket interior groupand#44; but also its in features like the center consoleand#44; warm wood panelingand#44; and upgraded AM/FM/cassette stereo. But once you get behind the wheeland#44; this special Camaro reminds you it wants to get down to business. Crisp AutoMeter gauges are in place everywhere from the quad pack in front of the Long shifterand#44; to the large speedo and tach right in front of you. Theres ever a shift light on the dash. All of this tells you theres something extra special under the hood. It was hard to beat the 427 cubic-inch that came in the COPO Camaro back in 69and#44; but today we have the ability to squeeze even more power out of the big block V8. Thats why when you look beyond the flash of this nicely presented engine bayand#44; you will see the substance of a Merlin 520ci full roller motor filling the engine bay. Its been built with go-fast goodies such as rectangle port aluminum Pro Topline headsand#44; Milodon oil panand#44; March serpentine pulley systemand#44; MSD ignitionand#44; Edelbrock aluminum intakeand#44; and Quick Fuel 850 CFM four-barrel carburetor. The full package is estimated at 650 horsepower. All it takes is the roar from long tube performance headers feeding the Pypes X-pipe dual exhaustand#44; and the crowds will know youre making more power than an original COPO. Plusand#44; with the Be Cool aluminum radiator and electric fanand#44; this monster V8 knows how to stay calm even in a crowd. Making sure all that power gets to the ground is the control of a Richmond 4+1 manual that feeds a Ford 9-inch rear running a 3.70 ratio for good takeoffs. On the road features like power steeringand#44; four wheel disc brakesand#44; Hotchkis front sway barand#44; and aluminum body bushings on the rear leaf springs means a superior-feeling Camaro. Add in the grip of Mickey Thompson Sportsman SR tiresand#44; and this is an unbeatable package. With only 1and#44;618 miles on |
