Default How many 1969 COPO camaros were built with the Rally Sport Package?

I was looking through some old pictures I had taken years ago
and ran across a 1969 camaro that was supposedly a factory 427 car with the R/S package.I went to see this car in carrol county Maryland in 1989 or it may have been right over the line in PA,I forget.
The car was hugger orange and was a auto but had been converted to a 4spd at one time.It was in great shape but The owner did not have any paperwork at the time but was convinced since it had a curved neck radiator.The engine and trans were long gone.I was kind of put off by the guy since he had no documentation of anykind.
Has anyone heard of this car or any other
COPO R/S cars?
Thank you,nice site
HS

I know of one COPO RS car. It is also a double COPO. (9561/9737). I am sure there are others.

There was at least six that came to Canada. I'm sure there's one or two more we don't know of.

Thanks for the replys so far
COPO does the car you know of sound like the one I described? I have not seen or heard of the car since then.
Im guessing it was fake,if it was real it would have been in all the magazines since it was Hugger orange with black standard interior and a R/S COPO,the body did look good,I would have offered 3-4K as is if he would have taken it but he was so sure it was the real deal,the paint was original.
and it did not have any rust,I think it was a race car that was stored inside most of it's life.
If I remember I think he did say he pulled the interior out but did not find a build sheet. Im guessing since it was a race car it probably went through alot of engines and trans and several radiators.

No, the one I am thinking about is a different car. It is blue w/black custom int. There certainly aren't many around.

There was a similar 1969 RS COPO that was in York, PA for a number of years during the 1990s (it has since been sold). Sounds like the same car; originally an automatic, but no engine or transmission with the car. This one was Hugger Orange with a white interior though... Are you certain about the interior color? Fairly low mileage if I recall correctly, but it definitely needed restoration. It had no paperwork (as you mentioned), but the owner at that time seemed to have a good idea as to the ownership history and was confident that it was a COPO. He certainly got COPO money when he sold it...

I took Brian (bkhpah) over to look at the car when he was in town a few years back. He is certainly more knowledgeable about Camaros than I am... perhaps he can comment as to the condition/originality of this car.

Regards,

Stan Falenski

Marlin,

Yes, that was Skip's car. I recall that he bought the car from a gentleman in Gettysburg and had it out at Carlisle a few times trying to sell it... and that's eventually what happened a couple years ago.

I don't know who bought it or where the car went, but I seem to remember that the asking price was around $20,000.

Regards,

Stan

I know of 3 RS COPO's, and have heard of others. Not a common car.

Pete,
Did you get the email I sent you the other day?

Kurt
