Frame up restored to factory COPO (Central Office Production Order)
specs. 396 was the biggest engine available in a Camaro. A lucky
few were able to special order a 427, usually in a stripped down
model, these were known as COPOs. Very few exist and can fetch 1/4
million $ today. This is a high quality car- looks and
performance.
EXTERIOR: Believed to be original rust free sheet metal on the car.
It is completely straight from any angle, top to bottom. All the
gaps are square and flush. No bubbles or damage. Lemans blue
metallic paint is laid out evenly and the clear coat is polished
smooth and glossy. It is a no frills car so it doesn't have the
spoilers and extra trim but it does have the functional cowl
induction hood. Up front the grill, bumper, emblems, lenses are all
new. The marker lights, door handles, mirror, correct antenna are
new. Stainless around the windows is also new. In back the tail
lights, bumper and emblems have been replaced. It has a Berger

I personally drove it and enjoyed every minute!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
**These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a
particular car make an appointment with a salesman to see that car.
Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded and you
will be given a 1 year membership.
