Hi again - sorry that it took so long for me to respond to all of the info on my Nischan Spalding copo Camaro. I spoke to the original (owned it 30+ years) son who told me that his dad never took it out in the rain since new. So, it's got a great original body. Lots of original paint even! Tons of docs including the original POP. I've registered the car and will post photos when I can figure out how to do it! This is a great site - thanks so much to those responsible.

I promised Bruce, (Bergy)if he emailed me some pictures of his 69 COPO Camaro 9561/9737 I would post them for him. Well, I received an email from Bruce today, including some great exterior shots of his car. As soon as it warms up and Bruce takes his car outside, he will be sharing some interior shots as well.
Thanks for sharing Bruce! By the way, I am really jealous!



Nothing like a brand new 69 Camaro Double COPO 9561/9737. Picture taken in Jan. of 1970.


Present day

Like the white pinstripes accenting the breaklines... don't think that I have ever seen that on a COPO before.

If that first shot was taken in Jan of 70, why is there no snow, and why are the trees all green?
I'd bet that picture was taken in '69, but the roll of film wasn't developed until Jan. I had the same problem.
