Lot T208, 1202 E 38th Street Indianapolis, IN 46205, May 12-16
ESTIMATE: $150,000 – $175,000
In our buy of the day today, we featured a ‘COPO’ tribute build, which will get you a fine ride, with the best spec., but to have the original will take deeper pockets, but you are paying for rarity, scarcity and other words that mean everyone else wants one and you have one!
From the Mecum auction website –
‘A non-Yenko, double-COPO package Camaro. While the aforementioned COPO 9561 code meant the L72 427/425 HP and associated driveline/body changes were done, COPO 9737 Sports Car Conversion was considered to be done especially for Yenko to dress up his packages. Its biggest visual benefit was the 140-MPH speedometer. This was actually the same code the dealership had used for 1968 when they had swapped new 427 CI short-blocks in standard big-block Camaros, but COPO 9737 could be ordered by anyone who filled in the right spaces on the paperwork. Moreover, this special car also benefits from the Z21 Bright Exterior Trim option, as well as the extra-cost 15×7-inch YH Rally Wheels with Goodyear Wide Track GT white-letter tires.’
‘This Hugger Orange beauty comes with provenance—it is Camaro Hi-Performance documented, has an NCRS shipping verification and is listed in the SYC Supercar Registry. Beautifully refinished thanks to a rotisserie restoration by Mike Angelo of North Canton, Ohio, this is a COPO 9561 BA to be exact, as the correctly date-coded MN-suffix L72 427/425 HP big block V-8 engine is backed by the M21 close-ratio 4-speed transmission with Hurst shifter. Like all COPO packages, a 12-bolt differential is in back, with a 4.10:1 Positraction BE-coded rear end.’
Can you see COPOs like this hitting near a million dollars in a few years? We wait and see……..
