Introduced last fall at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the 2015 COPO Camaro is a full-on race car with a fifth-generation Camaro body shell. 69 examples will ever be built and guess what? 2015COPO001 will be auctioned by Barrett-Jackson on Sunday, April 19th.
According to the American auction house, this special muscle car’s top bid will go to Achilles Freedom Team of Wounded Veterans. All 100 percent of the winning bid, just to clarify things. We tip our hats to you Chevy for helping a non-profit organization with a six or even seven-digit figure. That’s proper charity in our book.
No. 001 of the 2015 COPO Camaro breed looks a lot like the racer you can admire in the adjacent gallery.
Its distinctive aesthetic features include an exterior finished in Abalone White with matte orange and grey detailing, joined by “15” graphics literally everywhere. On the power front, we have a 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) LSX-based V8 and a 2.9L Whipple supercharger on the menu, 555 horsepower included.
Vector in a racing-spec three-speed automatic transmission and you’re looking a quarter mile stint dealt in the mid-8s. The COPO’s racing chassis, solid rear axle and other go-faster bits and bobs are perfectly complemented by an NHRA-approved roll cage.
Each 2015 COPO Camaro is hand built to tackle the Stock Eliminator and Super Stock classes.
Official pricing is still a mystery, but we have this gut feeling that lowest you can go is $90k. That’s if you’ve been selected by the golden bowtie to be able to buy such a magnificent beast.
