Or, you could use that money to bid for this here 1969 Chevrolet COPO Camaro, part of the initial batch that gave birth to the bloodline. It’s unclear if $100k will be enough when the thing goes under the Mecum hammer next month, but one never knows with such things.
The car, it seems, has been very well taken care of. We’re told it has been in the same family for the last 45 years, and it has seen its share of action, as the odometer shows just a little over 3,600 miles (about 5,800 km).
Wrapped in the original Daytona Yellow paint, the car rocks a period-correct 427ci (7.0-liter) engine fitted with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor, dual exhaust system, and a 4-speed transmission.
Stored in a climate-controlled garage, the COPO Camaro will be selling with reserve next month, but we are not being given any indication on how much the owner expects to fetch for it. We do know that thrown into the mix are the original window sticker and Protect-O-Plate that came with the car all those decades ago.
