Your online source for Chevy racing history.
Our books and DVDs feature all of your favorite
High Performance Chevy models!


During the research of my 424 page L-88 Corvette Racing Legends, a substantial
amount of information was uncovered regarding Chevrolet's little known COPO models.
COPO was an abbreviation for Central Office Production Order.
This ordering technique was originally developed for fleet orders for cars such as
taxis, police cars, and other types of government or rental cars. But during the
horsepower wars of the 1960s, this ordering technique was used to produce
limited numbers of high performance units of Camaro, Chevelle, and Nova models.

These COPO models were powered by high performance versions of Chevrolet's
legendary big block engine. Depending on the model, either a solid lifter 396 or a 427
cubic inch engine was installed at the factory, and in some cases, more powerful
427 big block Chevy engines were swapped in at the dealership for additional power!

Needless to say, these COPO Chevrolets were legendary performers both
on the street and on the drag strip.

My upcoming product will be a COPO DVD or Book.

This DVD will contain high definition video footage and high resolution photography
of all your favorite COPO Camaro, COPO Chevelle, and COPO Nova models.
The video footage and photography are all contemporary and full color.
The DVD will be unlike any automobile video or DVD that has been previously
assembled. This COPO DVD will capture the full attention of even the most
seasoned muscle car enthusiast.


Production costs and the economy with determine which format will be produced.

The DVD or book will be produced in a limited quantity, so it will be sold on a first come,
first served basis. Stay in the loop with all of our other customers by enrolling in the list.
