The second generation Chevelle was introduced in 1968 and featured a shorter wheelbase with a distinctive, long hood/short deck profile which sported tapered front fenders and a new belt line. Available in various body styles including the two door coupe, four door sedan and the popular El Camino pick up, the second generation Chevelle is considered one of the best cars of the muscle car era with many arguing that the 1969 model is the most attractive of the lot.

The COPO (Central Office Production Order) spec cars were developed by Chevrolet’s Engineering Product Promotion Chief, Vince Piggins, whose staff prepared the L72 427 V8 from the Corvette and who had also previously released the COPO Camaro. The COPO Chevelle was first “offered” in 1969 for SS/D drag racing and was considerably underrated when it was described as being 425hp. GM’s internal COPO system was frowned upon by upper management who, fearing Corvette sales would plummet, did not want to release or advertise a high horsepower, big block, mid-market, production car. All in all, it is estimated that only (10) COPO El Camino’ were produced with very few documented examples still existing today. The pinnacle of the model, the 427 COPO El Camino, is regarded as one of the best factory-built muscle cars of all time. Examples rarely come to market; when they do, they are sought after by some of the most discerning collectors on the globe.


Has Copo connection cert for what that is worth. And partial build sheet that is very hard to read in the post

It is neither of these cars

Charley, didn't you have a 427 el comino that you sold and then was restored by peter klutt in canada?

Looks like I have one.
Old race car sold new att H&H Chevrolet Omaha.
H&H sponsored it.
Written on Firewall 427 and M22

It was a LS6 Elcamino, Silver, auto. I saw it in a car collection in the midwest a couple years ago.

Looking at the description iluv69s has above. It says "SOLD AT BARRETT JACKSON FOR $220,000 IN 2006"???? I looked at the 2 auctions they had in 2006, and couldn't find it???

Anyone else see it or am I missing something?

Thanks, John

Wasn't there an L89 EL that the Mr Gasket company had?
