Answer 1

All COPO cars are rare, but there were several different codes. COPO 9561 was the code for the 427/425 L72 car that was ordered by several performance oriented dealers. Yenko and Berger were the dealers that made the 9561 famous, but numerous others sold them accounting for a total production of 1,015 cars. COPO 9560 was the all aluminum ZL-1 427, there were only 69 built and the first 50 were all shipped to Fred Gibb Chevrolet in Illinois. Gibb was the person solely responsible for GM building the ZL-1 cars because he told them that if they would build it, he would order at least 50 cars. Several of the COPO cars were also built with COPO 9737, "sports car conversion". These cars are commonly referred to as double COPO's.

Answer 2

I had a 69 Camaro SS 350 that was converted to a 427 by the previous owner for track racing at Road America...one fast car. He got busted driving it on the track in the off-season and had to sell it to pay the ticket...good for me. I worked in a Chev dealer parts dept back in the late 70's and use to read over all the optional parts for them to build it like a COPO one. Chambered exhaust and rear disc brakes---very rare---were still to be found at swap meets which would have made it quite well optioned but didn't have the cash....ZL1 engine would have been great too. I did put on the cowl induction setup and the Vigilite system. I also had a friend that was nuts about finding all the rare options for a 70 Chevelle SS 454 LS6...we'd go to salvage yards and swap meets to find them and build our cars with the parts. It sure was a lot of fun and interesting to see all the ways you could option a car back then...there was even a traction control setup that sprayed some kind of sticky goo on your tires from vacuum operated cannisters located in the rear wheel wells...not too many people knew about that one....it was only available for a couple of years.

There were no reproduction companies like Yearone back then so it took a lot of researching and scouring the salvage yards all over Wisconsin and other states to find the good parts. My buddy even had a small business going with guys in other states looking for parts. Ah, the good old days.

Answer 3

copo stands for central office production order any special order gm product was a copo car. it was commonly used for trucks and special use cars. no 2 copo camaros were alike so without the factory build sheet you would never know if you had one.
