synonymous with Chevy's monster-displacement Camaros. �€" Hemmings,
March 1989 Here's part of the Brief History of the COPO Camaro as
recorded by partscenter.net: Initially released in 1969 as the ZL-1
COPO Camaro, the automobile was part of Chevy's special-order
system, a method used by dealers during the sixties that allowed
them to create high-performance vehicles that were not available
elsewhere. The options found in the COPO weren't available for
purchase on the dealership's paperwork. Some dealers devised a way
to get the options they desired on the Camaro: they used particular
order codes to receive cars with special features. Instead of
placing an order for Camaros using the Regular Production Option
sheet, used by dealerships for performance and styling upgrades, a
dealership began ordering Camaros using the Central Office Purchase
Order (hence the name COPO), which was generally reserved for
adding alterations to municipal fleets. The COPO 9561 was a basic
Camaro sport coupe, converted by the dealership to include a 427
cubic inch iron block with 425 horsepower. 1,015 COPO 9561s were
made by GM and delivered to dealerships.... The full article can be

Offered here is a true, well-documented 1969 Chevrolet Camaro COPO
in factory Daytona yellow over black. The odometer reading of 66
miles is the distance traveled since the NOS-GM-parts-only
restoration was completed. Factory options include the (code 9561)
High-Performance Unit 427/425 V-8 engine backed by an M40 Turbo
Hydra-Matic automatic transmission and 4.10:1 Positraction rear
axle. In addition to the original performance upgrades, it is
fitted with a special ducted hood and power front disc brakes.
Documented with a Protect�€"O�€"Plate, this example still retains
its original motor and transmission. A nationally recognized
example, the Camaro has received multiple awards including Gold at
the Camaro Nationals, Carlisle Pennsylvania 2008, Best of Show at
Super Chevy Indianapolis 2008, and Hemmings Musclecar of the Year
at Scottsdale Arizona in 2008. The car's Daytona yellow
non-metallic paint was professionally refreshed and it shows:
smooth finish, an absence of flaws, and proper factory gloss across
every surface. This includes the steel wheels (with small chrome
hubcaps), an under-the-radar COPO feature, as well as the
cowl-induction hood, a somewhat more above-the-radar feature.
There's just something perfect about a COPO all in yellow. All
factory badging-which is to say the same factory badging as any
lesser 1969 would wear-is in place and properly mounted. In
particular, the blue bowtie emblems front and rear are classic
Chevrolet livery. (To best assess the quality of the paint and trim
finishes, please be sure to view the close-up photographs of the
car in the accompanying gallery.) Chrome bumpers and body trim are
flawless; cabin glass and all lighting lenses are pristine.
Period-correct GoodYear® F70-14 raised-white-letter Wide Tread
tires are mounted on the aforementioned steel wheels. Inside, black
is the color theme for the base-level interior. Horizontally
pleated black vinyl covers the two front bucket seats (no console)
and rear bench; the upholstery and seatbacks are in perfect
condition. Door trim echoes the upholstery design and includes a
chrome door handle,
