Yet another kind of COPO Camaro?

[Dave Rifkin]

I ran across this ad on Ebay and was wondering if anyone here had heard of such a car?

"All 277 cars were built exclusively at the G.M. Heritage Center"
The above statement is very hard to believe.

I remember reading some state used AMX, or Javilins for chase cars, and some used later model camaros, but don't remember seeing this year used. I remember seeing the cop sitting in the AMC with headphones on, so he was hands free.I really couldn't figure out the need for a chase car. Ia. highway patrol ran 429 police interceptor, or 440 magnum Dodge polaras. They'd run 145-150 mph. You weren't gonna out run them unless you ran the gravel roads, and that could get pretty scary.

Here is a state highway persuit car factory built by plymouth.

Then there is this one, documented. Sounds like the author is the person to ask about the above car, he seems pretty knowledgable.

This sounds like a good story...however, the engine code (H) in the VIN is for a 350 2bl auto car, which would make the 2.43 rear gear correct not special. Also the gauge cluster is from a newer Camaro (KPH on speedo and unleaded on fuel gauge). If those blue wheels were original they would be the often discussed gray/silver color not body color and they should have oval valve stem holes not the round ones they have. It may very well be a ex-Cop car but is it a COPO?
It would be nice to see the body plate and some paperwork would also shed some light. Having said all this, I think it is a excellent start for someone looking for a clean 2ND Gen body. If anyone else can shed any light on this I am all ears.
