To be honest you couldn't build a copo for cheaper than you can buy it.

"COPO is a true racing machine. It is specifically offered for off-highway, competitive NHRA use only. It cannot be registered, titled, licensed, or driven on public roads or highways."

So why did they make t so extreme? Not sure on the copo history since I wasn't around in 69, why not make a border line streetable Camaro with these options?

Don't get me wrong these are nice cars!

I believe they are around $110,000 if I'm not mistaken and they're only making 69 of them and they aren't street legal.

Way cool car but that a lot of dime to shell out for something you can't drive on the street .
