You are correct for 2012. Things changed for 2013.

Dealers also had a chance to opt in for the COPO lottery where a third party picked the winning chances. Chevrolet Performance made the calls to notify the lucky ones. The winning dealer is notified and was given 24 hours to decide if they wanted to take delivery or not. If they declined the chance went to next dealer.

This particular car was accepted and the dealer will be the purchaser if a buyer is not found before delivery day and the dealer would have to pick up the car from Detroit just like a private customer would. All 69 of the purchasers get a tour of the COPO assembly plant. If a buyer chose to be a part of the engine build they would get a tour of the engine plant.

As a racer myself I posted this car here because I hope a racer will buy it and race it. I do not want it to be hidden away in someone's private collection never to be seen or raced.

All COPO's need to be raced and enjoyed as the drag cars that they are.
