No offense but, I think I like the original look better too although I wouldn't mind driving around in either set up.

Come on guys, have an imagination! How many cookie cutter COPO's do you want to see out there. This version looks great! Those poverty caps and wheels didn't last for 2 days back then! The car is now ready for some 1/4 mile action.

I do not understand you guys.

The car looks great in its original configuration!!! BUT, it looks GREAT with its minor modifications as well.

There is nothing done to the car that can not be turned back within a half days work.

I think it is cool, i'd like to do something similar to my STRICTLY original La¨londe Olds delivered COPO too, you get bored seeing it over the time, so either i have to ship it back to the states, and trade it for something else, or do something like this..

COOL Stefano..

Nils

I'm with Sam and Nils. I like the COPO both ways. It's an accurate day two representation of what you could have ordered right off the showroom floor back in 1969.

It also serves to help promote our 2010 Nickey Super Camaro project.

I like it better the modified way. I would not be surprised if they carefully attached those emblems and possible even stripes so it could be changed back to stock in a few hours.

This car looks cool now AND this car looked cool before. The Nickey group and Bob presented this C.O.P.O. perfectly! I was at the Performance World Car Show in Toronto this past weekend. At first I was somewhat sceptical of the project, but trust me, the boys at Nickey did it up right.

In their display they made no bones about what they did. They proudly displayed the true origin of this Camaro, being a Canadian Belmont Chev Olds car while presenting the G M of Canada documentation. But you have to hand it to them, the car now takes on a unique personatity in it's new form.

Great work.....I think it is bitchin!
