The COPO Camaro was ushered into existence in the late '60s by Chevrolet dealers who were installing big-block engines in Camaros and taking them racing. Chevrolet knew a good thing when they saw it and, tapping into GM's Central Office Production Order (COPO) system, began to outfit stock Camaros with essentially Corvette drivetrains. Then, upping the ante in 1969, Chevy built just 69 super-high-performance COPO Camaros and they became instant classics. The result was a performance configuration that definitely turned heads at the track. Now, more than four decades later, Chevrolet has recreated the magic by building 69 5th-generation COPO Camaros intended for Stock Eliminator and Super Stock competition. The GM Performance Division has granted Automobile Quarterly and managing editor and auto historian Jeff Leestma exclusive access to historical archives, the people responsible for the car's design and development, and entry to the secret COPO Camaro Performance Build Center. This behind-the-scenes story involves the entire family of specialty Camaros (Z28, LS1, 1LE, SS) and details why the 5th-generation Camaro is the perfect high-performance platform. This authoritative pictorial history, officially licensed by General Motors, is expertly chronicled by the authors and editors of Automobile Quarterly and is a must-read for every Camaro aficionado.
