In the world of first-generation Camaro, there are a lot of letters. SS, RS, Z/28 and of course COPO come to mind. When it comes to desirability, it is hard to top a true 427 COPO.
The COPO designation stands for Central Office Production Order. This was an internal code used mostly in the fleet division for taxis, police and municipal cars and a variety of trucks. Other deviations from the norm may also call for the COPO designation, as is the case with the 1969 COPO Camaro and Chevelles.
It is believed that Don Yenko, a performance-oriented dealer in Pennsylvania was the first to use this code to order the 427 engine, previously not available in the Camaro, for his special conversions. Prior to 1969, Yenko would actually remove the drive train to install the larger 427 to create what is now referred to as a 'Supercar.'
Some dealers and customers in the know would use this to create their own COPO cars. The Camaro would be the most popular choice, although Yenko is credited with ordering over 200 of them for his own conversion use.
Today, COPO 427 Camaro's are among the most coveted and sought-after General Motors muscle cars ever built. This particular car is made even rarer by the addition of various options including the R.S. package, which adds a variety of trim including the hideaway headlights. Splendid in Hugger Orange, this car recently received an extensive restoration.
