A friend of mine purchased a 9561 COPO Camaro from Berger in Dec. 1969. Paid $3900 for it. Not an RS, I think the RS option COPO's would have been around $4200. He said his car payment was $87 a month, and he brought home $120 a month. The Berger COPO's were nicely optioned and may have been more expensive than the more stripped down COPO's. I paid $2200 for mine in 1977, had the chance to buy his for $4500 in the early 80's, but thought the price was nuts. He repurchased the car in the 90's for a whole lot more!
I have an old Car Craft mag. with a write up on the Payne and Walker Camaro, one of them was quoted as saying the best investment they ever made was" narrowing the rear frame rails". LOL! Who knew what they would be worth someday!
