$85,000 rotisserie restoration by Hendrick's performance. Built to
exact original COPO specs. Only 1,550 miles since built.
What is a COPO? Central Office Production Order. 396 was the
biggest motor GM allowed in a Camaro but if you were one of the few
that had insider info, you could special order a Camaro with the
L-72 427-425 hp. This was an unadvertised car, so they were a very
limited production. Today they can sell in the hundreds of
thousands of dollars. You can't tell this one from an original,
even if you check the codes.

zero rust or damage. Laser straight from every angle. Each panel
fits square and flush. The paint is polished like glass. Every
piece of trim and chrome is new. All the glass was replaced. The
COPO was meant for business, no fancy stripes, spoilers or trim. It
does have a functional cowl induction hood that lets fresh air into
that monster motor. They didn't even have fancy wheels. This car is
accurate with it's painted steel rims and "poverty" caps in mint
condition and reproduction Goodyear Polyglass GT tires.
