COPO = Central Office Purchase Order, which was a loophole a few Chevy dealers used in the 60s to make a limited number of very special cars, which are worth huge money now.

Yenko, Baldwin Motion, etc...back in the day. Some dealers took advantage of the system to have 427 BB motors installed at the factory back then. They had to know how to work the 'secret' ordering system of GM.

And a Step 5, based on Data's C-8 order........wait until about 2030 for delivery of your car, assuming Camaros are still made then. Or Cameros, either one.

Not the COPO of yesteryear, this is just a sales gimmick. You had to know someone back then, but this, just tell the salesman what you want.......meh.

I knew a guy back in the day that got a new 69 COPO 427 Camaro. He drove it for while on the street and it was a beast. He then turned to car into a legal NHRA Super Stock racer
