Dana: nice to see you here! I love watching your car run! For those that haven't seen it in person, Dana's car is so silky smoooooth, yet so quick! Wish we could get together more often @ the track...

No rear-spoilers for the COPO cars, unless added-on..
That dark-green (Fathom Green) color, seemed to be a popular choice..

You could order the spoilers (D80) on any of the COPO Camaros...matter of fact, all of the COPO Camaros sold through Yenko Chevrolet in '69 had spoilers. Ours (pictured below) is one of 5 Daytona Yellow automatics sold through Yenko in '69...here it is on it's way to a 12.0 @ 117 pass on the F70-15 Polyglass:



Someone mentioned Byrne Bros. as selling some COPO Camaros...they sold *lots* of hi-po stuff. Here is a picture from last year's "Supercar Reunion" of an original Byrne COPO Camaro racing our original "Red Alert" Chevelle, which was also sold out of Byrne:


Mike Keener: we've had 3 or 4 different guys the past few years visit us at Yenko.net looking for your old car...!
