Chevrolet introduced an anniversary-themed 2019 COPO
Camaro at the 2018 SEMA Show as a tribute to the original 1969 model. Celebrating 50 years of the
special order drag racer, the 2019 COPO Camaro features a custom Anniversary Blue
Metallic exterior color. The SEMA show car’s paint pays homage to the original
Laguna Blue offered in 1969. It also previews the special color and graphics of
the COPO Camaro 50th Anniversary Special Edition offered for 2019.
As before, the COPO Camaro features an exclusive
front-end design that’s not shared with other production Camaro models. The show car also packs a 50th
Anniversary Engine Appearance Package that reminds of vintage Chevy performance
engines. It features an orange engine block, chrome valve covers and a black
high-rise intake manifold.
Customers can have the package with the naturally
aspirated LSX-based 427 (7.0-liter) racing engine. The 2019 COPO Camaro’s
engine lineup also includes a revised version of the supercharged, LSX-based
350 (5.7-liter) engine, now featuring a 2.65L Magnuson supercharger. A
302-cubic-inch (4.9-liter) power plant is the third choice.
Chevrolet will build only 69 2019 COPO Camaro race
cars. That’s exactly the same number of 1969 COPO Camaro models built with the
all-aluminum 427 ZL1 engine. Prospective buyers can register here for a chance
to purchase this limited edition Chevy.
