The COPO Camaro

This post will be a review and overview of Chevrolets COPO Camaro.

The COPO Camaro made its debut in 2012 as a factory sold car intended for drag strip use only. There were only 69 COPO’s produced in 2012 and 2013 making the COPO Camaro one of the rarest cars to ever roll off Chevrolets factory floor. The COPO Camaro is a hand built car with impressive specs. The only way for someone to purchase a COPO Camaro today would be to either buy from a previous owner or from Richard Rawlings and Dennis Collins. This duo purchased 20 COPO Camaro rolling chassis with the intention of selling them as one off cars with custom paint and drive train. The cars are being sold on a first come first serve basis for more information visit their website here The COPO Camaro is based of the original 69 COPO Camaro which was introduced to compete in NHRA’s Stock Eliminator and Super Stock classes. These classes run in the 9’s. The top of the line COPO in 2012 is said to have ran an 8.88 quarter mile at 142 mph absolutely unheard of for anything rolling off of any American car company’s factory floors. At this point I’m sure you’re wondering what in the heck the COPO part means, well COPO is an acronym for Central Office Production Order which was a special ordering system used by dealers in the 60’s to build cars that couldn’t be found anywhere else. For more information on the COPO Camaro General Motors website has the most information on the car, as its rare its very hard to find solid information on the vehicle! Thanks for reading.
