1970 454 COPO Camaro?
 

Were any 1970 454/450 Camaro's ever made through COPO? If not, I wonder why? Seems like it would go down the same route as a 69 427/425.

One made. Wasn't a COPO or an RPO but was made on the assembly line. More of a engineering special sent to Smokey Yunick.
The 1970 AIM has many pages for the LS6 option, but was cancelled. Note that there weren't any LS6 Corvettes either. Oy Chevelles and a few Montes and El Caminos.

Today that car has an LS6 engine. Many unsubstantiated claims have been made about it. When purchased at the auction it was a disassembled body w/o VIN tag. The FMVSS VIN label on the door indicated it was built as a 6 cylinder.

You be the judge.

LS6 Montes? None ever documented.

My mistake then. Thought I saw a post where there were two that were made.
Also correct on the 454 Camaro having a 6 cylinder VIN. Some mystery surrounding that one. Anecdotal evidence.

There are many ways to display this car today. While Yunick had it he built the car in several configurations.

Rumored are LS-6, Small Block with a Cross Ram, COPO Spoiler, etc... .

The car left Chevrolet at Norwood as a base 6 cylinder as part of the assembly pilot production build.

Car then made it's way to Yunick's garage and then decades later was sold at auction as a disassembled tub with the front end loose and no drive train.

Also was fitted with a JL-8 setup and a pretty cool flat hood cold air setup. Rumor was John Delorean, GM of Chevy at the time would not permit a raised hood cowl induction setup.

This was always one of my fav 1970 Camaros. Wonder where it wound up?

Although not a GM made car, it was still cool...

So where is the Yunick car now?
