Re: COPO....Now And Then
Gump: In 1969 the COPO Camaros didn't just come as 427 all alluminium, they also came as 427 steel engines. The big difference is that they weren't race cars and had nothing to do with rules. Anyone could go to a Chevy dealership and order one. Baldwin Chevy had a ton of them go through that dealership. The COPO cars show up at Burger King on Hempstead Trnpk on Long Island all the time. No cared about NHRA rules back then. One of the biggest problems back in 1969 was to get insurance on the cars if you were under 25.
