2012 Copo Camaro 427

2013 CHEVROLET COPO CAMARO 427

KEY FACTS

An outstanding example of the limited-run, drag-strip focused muscle car, which has never been raced.
Under the hood is the 425hp 427ci (7.0L) LS7 V8, coupled to the race-prepared two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission.
It remains all original, with no modifications or upgrades over the bespoke COPO specification.
Just 69 examples were built for the 2013 model year.
The car does not have a standard VIN and is NOT STREET LEGAL.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

The 'COPO' name comes from the legendary 'Centre Office Production Orders' programme in 1969, which saw a small number of dealers specify drag-strip ready Camaros directly from Chevrolet with a street body but a racing engine, using a process originally designed for fleet customers or authorities.
Designed solely for drag strip racing, and with the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock categories in mind, the modern COPO Camaro features a stripped-out interior with rear seat delete, and is fitted with an NHRA-approved roll cage.
It is equipped with a solid rear axle system, race suspension and chassis upgrades, lightweight Bogart racing wheels, and Hoosier drag strip tires.
The 7.0-litre LS7 V8 in the 2013 COPO featured an all-new Holley HP EFI electronic control unit with self-tuning fuel table strategies and data logging. The injection system is used in conjunction with a Holley Hi-Ram intake manifold.
Other features introduced for the 2013 model include a new 'heritage' style grille, non-HID headlights, a new exterior graphics package, dedicated race wiring harness, uprated front springs, and a transmission cooler integrated with the radiator.

CONDITION

There is no bodywork damage whatsoever, as the car has never been raced.
Its Victory Red paintwork is still in pristine order, having been kept in collector-quality condition.
There is no noticeable wear or damage to the interior upholstery, and the driver's seat is equipped with an RJS Racing Equipment safety harness.
No electrical or mechanical faults have been detected.

SUMMARY

This 2013 Chevrolet COPO Camaro is a stunning track-only machine, designed to compete in the stock series organised by the NHRA, which remains in as-new condition. Fitted with the most popular combination of the 7.0-litre V8 and Powerglide transmission, this is a relatively user-friendly race-ready muscle car, which would be a thrill to pilot on the drag strip.
