Muscle car enthusiasts will have a rare opportunity to claim a painstakingly detailed tribute to one of Chevrolet’s most legendary street machines when a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro COPO re-creation crosses the block at Henderson Auctions.
Finished in iconic Hugger Orange, this stunning Camaro has been carefully and correctly built to original COPO (Central Office Production Order) specifications. More than just a cosmetic effort, the restoration invested over 3,000 hours to ensure that nearly every aspect of the car mirrors the spirit and build quality of the 1969 COPO originals.
Powering this re-creation is a fearsome 427-cubic-inch V8, rated at 425 horsepower, mated to a four-speed manual transmission—just like the street warriors Chevrolet quietly offered to racing-minded customers more than half a century ago. Supporting the drivetrain are power brakes, enhancing control without sacrificing authenticity.
One of the most impressive aspects of this build lies in its commitment to historical accuracy. Key components—including the engine block, cylinder heads, water pump, alternator, distributor, carburetor, transmission, and rear end—are all dated within 37 days of each other, reinforcing the authenticity that collectors demand.
The attention to detail extends beyond the mechanicals. True to COPO form, the car features minimal exterior badging, delivering the understated, “sleeper” aesthetic that made these factory-backed performance machines feared on the streets and revered among enthusiasts.
Presented under VIN 124379N614741, this Camaro offers buyers a golden opportunity to experience the rare magic of a COPO-spec car without the seven-figure price tag attached to original examples. It’s a faithful nod to Chevrolet’s most daring era of muscle car production, ready for spirited driving or serious show competition.
