COPO....Now And Then

Ken Miele · 01-25-2013, 11:05 PM

I was at the Philadelphia Auto today and saw a new COPO and a 1969 COPO on the same display. I love the new cars but man the old stuff sure looks great.

If you you had to choose, would it be old or new?

I don't know who owns the new car or if it will be raced, no one was around to talk to about the car. The picture below is what was next to the new COPO. I assume it’s a museum only car, but not sure.

I would always take the 1st gen Camaro over any new one Ken. The new cars might be have all the new whiz bang stuff but the character of the 1st gen cannot be beat.

The new one needs a vinyl top before I make any judgement

March issue of Car Craft has a nice article on the new COPO Camaro with a picture of Jim Boburka standing by his car
