Re: Copo Camaros
I special ordered a Nova in '69 from Anthony Abraham Chev. in Miami. Really wanted a Camaro but too cheap to spring the extra bucks (dumb ***). My car came in mid May. I went back to the dealer about a week later as they called 'my license was in'. Saw a white (what looked like a 6 cyl.) Camaro parked where the new cars came in. What caught my attention was that it had the cowl induction hood but looked like a car that shouldn't have that hood. Went over and looked at the window sticker and saw: L72, 427/425. Also remember that it had an M22. Don't remember anything else on sticker but the bottom line $3,600 something. Had all the SS stuff (power discs multi-leaf, 12 bolt), but no SS badging. Looked around and there was also a dark green one there.
Also a 4-speed. Same options, same price. I knew they were something special but I didn't know what. Never had heard of a COPO then.
So I know that Abraham Chev., Miami, FL had a least 2 of them. Just unaffordable to me at that time. I used to go to Miami-Hollywood Speedway every Sat. night, but never saw either car there or ever again.
