Yenko “ copo” how it worked

In 1969, Yenko discovered the joys of the Chevrolet Central Office Production Order (COPO) system that allowed him to special-order Camaros equipped with 427s straight from the factory. The COPO system was meant for fleet orders that wanted special equipment, like a police department needing non-stock features, but Yenko exploited it to make Camaros completely badass. In addition to the 427-cubic-inch V-8, the COPO cars came with power disc brakes, heavy-duty front sway bar, 4.10 Positraction rear ends, cowl-induction
hoods, and spoilers. Yenko finished the cars off with custom stripes and graphics with the sYc (Yenko Super Car) logos.
