?EUR Hemmings, March 1989 Here's part of the Brief History of the COPO Camaro as recorded by partscenter.
net:
Initially released in 1969 as the ZL-1 COPO Camaro, the automobile was part of Chevy's special-order system, a method used by dealers during the sixties that allowed them to create high-performance vehicles that were not available elsewhere.
The options found in the COPO weren't available for purchase on the dealership's paperwork.
Some dealers devised a way to get the options they desired on the Camaro:
they used particular order codes to receive cars with special features.
Instead of placing an order for Camaros using the Regular Production Option sheet, used by dealerships for performance and styling upgrades, a dealership began ordering Camaros using the Central Office Purchase Order (hence the name COPO), which was generally reserved for adding alterations to municipal fleets.
The COPO 9561 was a basic Camaro sport coupe, converted by the dealership to include a 427 cubic inch iron block with 425 horsepower.
1,015 COPO 9561s were made by GM and delivered to dealerships.
