This 1969 Chevrolet COPO 9561 Camaro is finished in Cortez Silver with a black interior, and its one of an estimated 822 4-speeds built. It was delivered to Park Lane Motors, Ltd., in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, and it features the L72 427/425 HP V-8 engine with an aluminum intake manifold, Holley 4-barrel carburetor, M22 4-speed transmission, ZL2 ducted hood, Harrison HD four-core radiator, 12-bolt rear axle with heat-treated ring-and-pinion gears and a 4.10 Positraction differential. Other features include five-leaf rear springs, power brakes with front discs, and front and rear spoilers. As the old adage goes, “rules are meant to be broken.” In an effort to ingrain a perception of corporate responsibility and safety, GM issued a corporate edict that did not allow Camaros to be offered with engines larger than 400 CI. That would mean that the L78 396/375 HP or aluminum-headed L89 were the most powerful engines that could normally be ordered. Potent engines to be sure, but if there are more powerful alternatives, enthusiasts and racers will want them. The engine in question was in fact the L72 427/425 HP version, which was available in the full-size Chevrolets and in Corvettes. So Don Yenko and other dealers looking for more performance found a loophole in the system. By ordering 1969 Camaros through the fleet ordering system, known as the Central Office Production Order, they were able to specify otherwise unavailable options if the cars were ordered in large quantities. Municipalities and companies would order more boring fleet cars and trucks with options specialized for their purpose. Yenko did the same thing, ordering 427s in Camaros, along with a host of high-performance upgrades. While the spirit of the rules were clearly violated, this subterfuge proved to be effective. In addition to the L72 427/425, the COPO 9561 Camaro came with the ZL2 cowl-induction hood, cowl-induction air cleaner, heavy-duty springs, 12-bolt Positraction rear axle with 4.11 gears and heavy-duty radiator. COPO Camaros have always been special cars and this example is certainly no exception.
