Jimmie - Yes , I'm fully aware of his business ..........Thats why I thought it might be fun - much better than cars and certainly easier on the eyes .And I never ask for permission ...............Easier to be forgiven later .

It's kind of ironic that the original COPO Camaros sat on a lot for months because they couldn't sell the ZL1 cars because of the price of the engine option, now people can't wait to get theirs. I'm one person who would love to get one, but it's not in the cards.
Another part is that the new Camaros are factory built race cars where as the original ones weren't. Just perspective of then to now.
Who ever gets one of these vehicles, good luck with it and always shinny side up.

Months ? My local dealer had a pair of those monsters but at over $ 7,500 they sat for more than two years before they got sold ........if I only knew ..........

Back in the day, I had a friend buy a COPO Camaro, but it wasn't one of the ZL1's, it was an iron block 427, 425 hp. It was blue with the baby hub caps on 14" rims. It also had the cowl hood with no spoilers. It seems that everone thinks that the COPO is only the ZL1.
