2014 Chevrolet COPO Camaro
COPO No. 49 of the 69 cars produced for 2014, this investment-grade
example has never been raced. Power is delivered by a supercharged
350 CI V-8 engine, which is paired with a 3-speed automatic
transmission. Originally delivered to the Chevy Exchange in Lake
Bluff, Illinois, this excellent 2014 Chevrolet COPO Camaro was
later purchased from Black Dog Racing. In addition to the Silver
Ice Metallic paint finish and Flat Black graphics package, this
all-out, modern drag racing icon features a lightweight carbon
fiber hood with tall ZL1-style air scoop, Weld wheels, Hoosier
racing tires and, of course, a set of wheelie bars, a rear
electrical shut-off switch and drag 'chute. A COPO purchase
certificate, issued by GM Performance, documents original details
and specifications.
The story behind Chevrolet COPO Camaros was that they were first
shown as a SEMA concept and unleashed for sale in 2012. Chevrolet's
modern COPO Camaro was purpose-built after five years of intensive
development work to take on the Ford Mustang Cobra Jet and Dodge
Challenger Drag Pak for NHRA Sportsman-class competition. Just 69
were produced, precisely matching the 69 ZL1 Camaros manufactured
for drag racing use under Chevrolet's infamous COPO (Central Office
Production Order) system back in 1969. Of those 69 modern COPO cars
produced, two were convertibles and 67 were coupes. Depending on
the drag-racing class considered, available COPO Camaro power
choices included a supercharged, 5.3L LSX with 2.9L capacity
blower, a naturally aspirated 7.0L V-8, or a supercharged 350 CI
LSX. These all-out, factory-built drag cars are totally worthy of
their hallowed designation and were launched to "instant icon"
status.
This turn-key drag car is ideal for serious racers or collectors
looking to add a rare and iconic vehicle to their garage.
Exceptionally well-maintained and in pristine condition, 2014 COPO
049 is a standout example from one of the most celebrated modern
muscle car programs ever built. Contact LRA Auto Sales at
