COPO to Go!

The MuscleCar guys tie a bow on the COPO Camaro Tribute project by showing how to properly prepare the crate engine for firing, including making your own oil priming tool. Then after a quick lesson in Carb tuning and timing, the COPO Camaro gets to have its day in the sun as the guys see what she can do.

I’m thinking in 1969. They was a lot of bad ass, hot rods that rolled off the factory floor.

What are you guys doing with the car when you are done , selling?

Drop the tire pressure in the rear..

Such a nice build, but the grille on these cars and other non RS cars was "Argent" silver, not black. Black was used on RS cars, except those painted black. A simple can of paint would've fixed that easy.

@vernhoke7730, I noticed that issue too & it irritates the hell out of me. I honestly can't comprehend how such an important feature could be overlooked or ignored. Another aspect that rubs me raw is when they re-built & re-upholstered the seats, they didn't take a few minutes to paint the rusty seat-frames & springs. At the very least, they shoulda' used a couple rattle-cans of Rust-Oleum. It woulda' been quick, easy, inexpensive & done the much needed task right. BUT...the team ignored the issue & recovered the rusty seat frames. !!!!UUUUGGGH!!!! 😕 Best regards from Yucatan Mexico, Ben

I will never understand why they do close ups of welding

[@AutoYoung]

Why?

[@diegohorton869]

Who does 8th mile drags?

[@AutoYoung]

People who live in places without a 1/4 mile track or people who just like 1/8 mile racing…

[@duygukayhanisaskank4915]

​@@AutoYoung I understand your point...BUT...the 427 is a "deep-breathing" engine. At the 1/8 mile point, it's just beginning to come alive. When it has more miles & time to work-out any issues, they NEED to allow that engine to do what it's designed & built to do. 🙂 Hopefully, they'll do a few follow-up shows featuring this AWESOME COPO '69 Camaro Tribute screaming down the 1/4...with "someone" who actually knows how to launch & drive this beast. After all the time & money invested in this build, it would be criminal to simply end the story here. Best regards from Yucatan Mexico, Ben

black paint doesnt do this car justice

[@ironhorse127]
