COPO with a stick ?
 

Anybody hear about GM building some COPO cars with a stick ? maybe 50 or so.

The Massingill's at The School of Automotive Machinists are getting one. They already run a 2012 in stock.

add $11,000 to the base price of the engine / model you choose...

no credit for leaving the Powerglide behind

Perhaps the folks in Milford can dig deep and find, in someone’s barn, the original 3-speed crashbox out of the Monster Mash 55 Chevy Stocker?

I mean…all the other COPO vehicles have that 50+ year old Powerglide in them.

By the way, General Motors, if you wish to know how to make a crashbox out of those ancient transmissions, there are still folks out there that know how.

A little harsh -- don't you think ? ? ?

Re: COPO with a stick ?
 

I'll bet they got a pretty good handle on it. I went 9.70's at 141 with a stock 6 speed untouched in my camaro at 3451 pounds and never broke it! These copos can probably run 8's n/a in good air. I'll bet the stick will absolutley fly!!!

I'm betting there will be Liberty's in those cars.

Re: COPO with a stick ?
 

Thats what I was thinking too. It'll be an awesome car!

Re: COPO with a stick ?
 

You might lose that bet as I believe that the stick Copo cars are coming through with G Force transmissions.

Re: COPO with a stick ?
 

As per a earlier posting the manual transmission Copo Camaros will have a G-force G101A 4 speed with 293 / 186 /133 /100 ratios. A Long v-gate shifter, 10.5 Ram adjustable clutch, 25 lb. Ram flywheel and a Ram hydraulic throwout bearing ..

Re: COPO with a stick ?
 

My guess is, he saying the G-Force will be removed and replaced with a Liberty! Too bad they didnt come out that way.:rolleyes:

Re: COPO with a stick ?
 

Ross, I gave credit to your posting as you know that's where I got it. Not for nothing ,for 11,000 more I personally would buy the auto sell off the parts and buy a Liberty box with a different clutch setup then what they are giving you. Just personal preference. So are you having a good time with yours ?

Re: COPO with a stick ?
 

YES! Savoring every second. As a madder of fact, going to go make a few passes tonight! :D

I was picked for a 2013 car too but my funds fell through.:(
I was going to go with a 350/ 4 speed then do a liberty swap.

I think Tim Hyatt got the PO from GM to supply the clutches, maybe 50 or so. He might know what are going in them for sure.
