The COPO system was just a way to purchase a special vehicle or special parts that were not available using the RPO system. The "Chevrolet Fleet & Special Order Department" built many types of vehicles but the High Performance 427 cars get most of the attention. "COPO" became a buzz word in auto magazines mostly used to describe the factory built 1969 427 Chevelles and Camaros. There were many other COPO cars and trucks built in addition to the 1969 427 cars. Don Yenko is the King of the hi po COPOs using the Chevrolet Fleet & Special Order Department to purchase over 600 high performance COPO cars through his little Chevy dealership in PA. He did hi po Corvairs, Camaros, Chevelles, Novas, and Vegas.
