I've been around muscle cars all my life, and have never heard anyone call one a " double COPO". Learn something new everyday.

Arguably about 1,100 COPO's shipped in 1969 and amazingly 23,000 of them are still on the road !

All 241 miles added by ¼mile increments. 🙌✌

Right now painting a 74 Super Duty Trans Am with 1700 original miles was a drag car from day one

Nice, my neighbor has one similar, not a copo, but a 69 ss. Original owner bought bit drove it for a month on the street then made it a race car. Current owner has returned the car to street duty.

Badass I've owned a 68 nova SS factory 4 speed car but didn't have the original motor sucks been 20 years this year lol

Imagine that trading a low buck 307 Nova for a beautiful monster like the Berger 427!!! What a great score for sure! The paint is still gorgeous too,along with the rest of the car! It's fantastic they got the original engine back together again and running too! It goes to show these sweet treasures can still be found out there today! Thanks again!

I had a '69 COPO. X11 doesn't mean it's a COPO. X11 is base coupe/style trim, which means it has all the chrome trim (headlight trim, taillight trim, rocker trim, quarter panel louvers, and drip rail. My car had the door edge moldings also. That car should have the wheel well moldings too, but most, like mine had them removed for slick clearance. The 427 emblems on the hood are incorrect. Most COPO's were X11 cars.

I went to College in Michigan during the early 80's. My buddy worked for Berger Chevrolet too. I was lucky enough to see some of the Dealer's awesome collection of Muscle cars. Also, the way you're pronouncing Berger is the correct way the dealer says it ! Cheers

Nice story! Nice car. I had a 69 427 Caprice. It ate Trans Ams for breakfast! Good old days!

The true meaning of all original! Love the color too....👍🏻🏁

The story makes the car perfect

Awesome !!!!! Glad it is running and preserved

In Dec. 1969 I was 20 yrs. old and living in Jacksonville, FL when I saw one of these 1969 COPO's (sold new by Berger) street race a 1970 Buick GS Stage 1 with the Stage 2 cylinder head package.race. That Buick idled very nicely so it surprised quite a few onlookers when it beat the COPO on two straight flag-offs for $150, which was pretty big bucks back then. I still remember the small Berger hand-painted scripts at the top of the doors and the "Jardine Headers" decals on the Camaro's rear windows.

That's special in a very special way.

I remember watching Rick Cornell race that copo at milan dragway in the early 80's. Very cool car!

Very cool. Thanks for the video. Nice to see some GM stuff.👍

Wow you got R done 😎👍✌️

Awesome car Ryan!

Absolutely sweet car

Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing

I got a triple COPO Camaro w only 86 miles on it so ha ha.

What a great story. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful car - thank you for sharing!

My Uncle has the " test mule " for the 69 copo Camaro no. 1 . Has the all aluminum 427 . Red with the pizza cutters rims & dog dish hubcaps . Bad ass !!! This is the one for 69 !!!

Also has the rare endura body color front bumper!

I own the real COPO Camaro it was my high-school graduation present my father worked at the GM Assembly plant where the cars were made in Norwood he was a paint supervisor real COPO Camaro what's a six-cylinder body with a 427 motor in a four speed or automatic on the column how to rosewood steering wheel and not one bit of chrome or radio plain Jane I drag race this car on the highway for four and a half years never wrecked it and never killed anybody in acquired every ticket except via killer manslaughter in triplicate those were the good old days the ultimate heartbeat of America and not living to regret it only regret ever having to sell it

New sub here ... Awesomeness always love a great car story ..ugh looks like I will be binge watching all night lol .. Thanks for the hard work that goes into making these videos and your time well spent researching them as well ... EPIC CAR EPIC VIDEO MY NEW FRIEND ... LIGHT AND LOVE TO YOU AND YOURS ...

Only 40 Double COPO Camaro super cars were made and they all went to Berger Chevrolet in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They have a lower and wider body that offers a much tougher appearance. This lower body set the way for the future of Camaro's, as many models ever since have gone about keeping this same look. There were options to add specific cosmetic packages and trim codes, which would enhance the performance of the car as well as the appearance. The car was basically a street legal drag racing car...

That was really cool man! I live in Ohio and there is some real rare stuff setting in peoples garages. Talk to you later buddy!👍

Very cool!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍

So fucking cool. My cousin had a 69' Camaro and my uncle had a Mark Donohue edition AMC javelin i loved going for rides in when i was a little kid! 69 Camaro is my all time favorite car and the copo is a dream 😫😫🤣🤣💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Damn u find the best cars!!

Love that sound...so did everyone in the vicinity...all heads turn if sound was reason the car looks will cause you to hold your gaze longer...Great styling created in the sixties never age...I am a 1962 model though this does not hold true in my case lol..

Awesome!

The whole family use to race at milan dragway mi. May even have sum race footage from the old day at milan.

Let's assume it was 41 miles from the dealership to the owner's house. That leaves 200 miles for racing. At most that was only 300 passes. Because you're going to put conservatively 3/4 of a mile per run with the run itself, the burnout and the return to your pit area. So it doesn't seem like it was even raced that much.

A 307 -2 dr Nova for a COPO Camaro..sounds like a helluva deal to me..lol.

saw that car many times at Milan dragway

great video, thanks !

Worth a sub, my man.

Glacier Blue code 53 ? Thanks for the great content.🏁

Love it.

That would be a fun Car to drive!

The 427 is the copo upgrade, not the original engine..

Great video nice find!

Loose the wide angle lens. Super annoying. Great cars deserves proper videos.

Bonks automotive is now a dance studio , still in Milan, my buddy lives next door, they hate him.

Great story

I had Camaros my whole life .. jus bought gen 6 . 2022 Camaro 1Le track package .

👏 amazing

My dream car 😍

My buddy has a 69 copo Camero with 2300 miles on it

WOW!!!!

Cant believe they removed the lettering

So did sell it to the guy who restored it? How much did it go for?

Wondering about those A/C vents. Most COPO's got the solid-lifter motor which they usually didn't put in A/C equipped cars. Or was it ordered with the 390hp hyd.cam motor?

Was the other dealership in Monroe MI. HARRY MAY CHEVROLET. I bought a 1973 Z/28 rs off of Mr Cornell.

Let's clear something up once and for all since apparently not everyone has watched Barrett-Jackson car auctions and heard Steve Mangante excellent description of what a COPO car is. A COPO is an abbreviation for the "Central Office Production Order". A car can only be ordered once, therefore a car cannot be a double COPO. The closest thing to a double COPO would be a Yenko Camaro where Yenko Chevrolet would COPO a Camaro and then do other modifications to it at the dealership.

I would love to give that car a home next to my cuda

What makes it a double Copo?

Maybe its just me but that puck stripe seems out of place on that car. I wouldnt have touched the original paint but everyone is different

In other words the Speedo was disconnected after 241 miles. Who buys a car like this to race and only puts241miles on it?

Never even heard of a double copo ,

How much is everyone's question!

i worked in milan or milan in french lol

.. So they raced it in 1986 huh? ... hmmmm

X11 does NOT mean COPO

So, what transmission was it born with? A Turbo 400, or Muncie?

My first car was a 69 Z/28 RS, hit lite in front, got running went for a ride with open headers got chased by cops. My mom made me sell it. I was 14, so I sold

Well my neighbors uncle's dad's dog knew a guy who knew a transgender that had a triple copo camaro.

He acts like 86 was eons ago!!

A double COPO, 😆 🤣 😂

Would have been nice to hear the e.t.

I know the Cornell family.

Had a big let down when the original engine was not there...

They didn’t order it twice, it’s a copo not a double copo.

No such thing as "double copo"

Yeah and those rare where but mine is more rare I got a quadruple copo
