It doesn't get any better Lou.

High praise Larry.

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

A double COPO is twice as nice! This Camaro looks and sounds amazing, as well. Its car story and Mr. Makovich's efforts to track it down over the years until he could make it his own, is inspiring to me and probably to all of us in the car community, too. Thanks, Lou!

[@loucostabile]

Hi TheGunfighter45acp, "A double COPO is twice as nice!" I like that comment! He knew what he wanted and stayed focused for sure. Happy to share this car with you. You're welcome, Lou

[@RaiderX948]

Always amazes me how the right people finally end up with the car they've been after for years. Great story Lou, thank you.

[@loucostabile]

It's a process. Focus, Patients, Perserverance, Timing, and Cash in Hand :-) You're welcome Raider X.

[@benzlick]

When I was a kid, starting at 13 years old, I bought a 68 Malibu and hunted every swap meet and newspaper ad for parts to make it a poor man’s Super Sport. Tribute now, then a clone. Did that few times and was mostly influenced by my older brother who did own back to back true Super Sports. It’s funny how those SS emblems and parts seemed more valuable than gold to me way back then. And how now as an older gentleman I would actually much rather had the chance to put in a Central Office Production Order

[@loucostabile]

Hi benzlick, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your car :-) Yes, our taste can change as we get older. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

[@darrininverarity4297]

GM should be proud of themselves for creating such an awesome car that so many would never let them die in the crusher,their is no reason to believe that this automobile won’t be around in 2069.

Wow that's one amazing car there I'm glad the owner is going to drive it around instead of showing it all the time🎉

[@loucostabile]

Happy to read "Wow that's one amazing car there" :-) I like he drives the car too.

[@russelladams6432]

Beautiful COPO. I love these special cars. COPO, Baldwin, Motion, Baldwin Motion. Would be amazing to own one but I think the anxiety of driving it on the roads would drive me insane LOL. Nothing like the sound of a big block loping and chopping like that one does. Thank you for sharing another awesome ride Lou. Take care.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Russell, Happy to read "Beautiful COPO. I love these special cars. " :-) Glad to share the sounds of this one with you. You're welcome, Lou

[@BikeronaTrek]

I love the 69 COPO Camaros. This is so much better than a Z-28 to me. Some COPOs have the standard wheels with the hubcaps. I really like the Rally wheels so much better. Also, one of my favorite colors is olympic gold. What a car. Thanks!

[@loucostabile]

Happy to read "I love the 69 COPO Camaros :-) You're welcome.

Anyways, great vehicle times in 1960-80!

Bruce H., So much fun to share with you :-) You're welcome.

[@scottbrady7499]

neat idea, the double COPO. saw a video with jeff dunham the puppeteer ventriloquist guy that had a 427, but nothing like this. for competition

[@loucostabile]

Hi Scott, Happy to share this cool car with you :-) Jeff Dunham has some great cars too, Lou

[@chriseudy9619]

Looks a lot like mine... Dad was a GM exec in 1963! Flint Michigan

[@chriseudy9619]

Mine had a clock lol

[@chriseudy9619]

Happy to read you have a fun car too.

[@67stingray1]

I remember seeing that amazing COPO. Thanks for sharing Lou.

[@loucostabile]

Happy to read you remember this one :-) You're welcome Felix.

[@DanEBoyd]

I think that Olympic Gold was a special color, and different from the more common gold color they used then, which I can't remember the trade name of... Somewhere around 7th or 8th grade, '79 or '80, the '69 Camaro took over the Black and Gold '77-'78 Trans Am as my favorite car.

[@loucostabile]

Happy to read this is a favorite car for you :-)

[@commandertopgun]

WOW FANTASTIC LOU-GREAT CARS GREAT VIDEO-THANKS FOR SHARING AS AWAYS.

Happy to read you like Camaros :-)

[@courtneypuzzo2502]

dThat's a beautiful restoration of a 1969 Copo Camaro my aunt Dorothy had a 1982 Camaro Z28 when her and my uncle Joe were dating think she had the car until 1989 when she became pregnant with my little cousin Joey and decided to trade in the Camaro for something a bit more family Friendly like maybe a Caprice or a Toyota Cressida grandma had bought her first Camry 6.5 weeks before baby Joey arrived And paid roughly $9,300 for the Camry resulting from a trade in and presidents day cash incentives

[@loucostabile]

Hi Courtney, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Aunt Dorothys car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

[@stephendavidbailey2743]

There was a COPO Corvair. I believe it was the first GM labeled that way.

[@loucostabile]

Hmmm, Interesting.

[@martinedwards4522]

wow!... what a car!... my dream cars all end in "o" COPO YENKO all for less than $4 k 😱

[@loucostabile]

Happy to read you enjoy this car :-)

[@eddyb6790]

The problem with most Camaros is that the VIN doesn't identify much. Usually just "V8". Engine block stamping, data tags, etc, get manufactured all the time. If it ain't in the VIN, just figure the odds...

[@loucostabile]

Hi Eddy B6, Thank you for viewing and sharing your thoughts. Hope you see many more cars on this KZbin Channel you enjoy. Please subscribe, and hit the "bell" so you can see all the cars when they are uploaded on this KZbin Channel, Lou

[@cobracharmer6178]

There were only 69 COPOs produced that year. They cost a couple of $$$$thousand more than the BOSS 429, and any MOPAR with the 426 HEMI.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Cobra Charmer, I did not know they cost more. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Lou

[@LITTLE1994]

Those particular Camaros are hard to find.

[@loucostabile]

You're right.

[@danam0228]

😍

[@loucostabile]

Happy to see you enjoy the looks of this car :-)

[@chriseudy9619]

It is correct down to the delco battery

[@loucostabile]

Thanks for sharing the details you notice.

[@charlespapineau5428]

Great car, Lou! I wonder if the new electric vehicles with the speakers emitting fake engine noise will sound better. Not!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Charles, Happy to read you enjoy this "Great car" :-) Time will tell what will happen with cars in the future, however I'm glad to share the ones you enjoy, Lou

[@eatshiy]

$3760.00. NOW worth $376,000.00!👍 Am I close?? Huh?

[@loucostabile]

I have no idea on car values.

[@dukeallen432]

Which paint company was used for Olympic gold paint? Clear coated?

[@loucostabile]

Hmmm, not sure. Hoping a Viewer can share knowledge.

[@bartschwartz9233]

Lol it had to be special ordered so how it a double COPO

[@loucostabile]

....the video explains that.

[@matrox]

Another one afraid to rev. Whats up with them?

[@loucostabile]

Maybe because we're indoors.
