A factory-built 1969 Chevrolet COPO Camaro with L72 427 power and complete documentation emerges as a crown jewel of muscle car history.
One of the most revered and elusive muscle cars of the golden era has reappeared, and it’s packing all the firepower enthusiasts dream about. A 1969 Chevrolet COPO Camaro, factory-equipped with the legendary L72 427-cubic-inch V8, has surfaced with its original documentation, components, and a finish that demands attention.
Born from Chevrolet’s Central Office Production Order (COPO) program—originally created to bypass corporate limits on engine displacement—this Daytona Yellow coupe is a true purpose-built street weapon. The heart of this beast is a correct, dated 512 casting L72 427/425-horsepower big-block, mated to the CX-code Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission and a COPO-specific BE 4.10 Positraction rear axle. It’s an all-original muscle recipe designed for domination.
Complementing the drivetrain is an original Holley 4346 carburetor, curve-neck Harrison radiator, spiral shocks, and a chambered exhaust system that delivers the thunderous roar true to its race-ready pedigree. Stopping power is provided by power front disc brakes, and handling is bolstered by the correct XT-coded color-matched steel wheels wrapped in Goodyear Polyglas F70/14 tires.
Authenticity runs deep on this car, with factory-correct LOF-dated glass, 1111499 distributor, 837 alternator, T3 headlights, and even the GM seatbelts intact. Finished in Code 76 Daytona Yellow with a black vinyl roof, the Camaro also retains its Code 711 black standard interior, complete with a center console and AM radio.
Not just a museum piece, this COPO includes time slips from Bowling Green Raceway, a Protect-O-Plate, original dealer invoice, and an NCRS shipping data report. The X11D80 trim tag confirms its original trim and spoiler package.
For collectors, this Camaro is more than a car—it’s a symbol of GM’s underground muscle movement, and a rare survivor of a limited production run that defied convention. With performance and provenance to match, this COPO is a time capsule from an era when raw horsepower ruled the road.
