Chevrolet will sell the Inferno Orange Metallic convertible race car at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction, in January, to benefit the American Heart Association.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A few factors should make this supercharged drop-top more enticing to bidders:<\/p>\n<p>*It\u2019s one of 69 COPO Camaro race cars built by Chevrolet for 2012 \u2013 and it\u2019s car number 69 of the sequenced production matched to its engine<br \/>\n*It\u2019s one of only two convertibles built \u2013 the other being car number 68 (which has been set aside by Chevrolet and isn\u2019t planned for public sale)<br \/>\n*It\u2019s one of 20 cars built with the 327 engine and 4.0L supercharger<br \/>\n*It\u2019s the only \u201912 COPO Camaro painted Inferno Orange Metallic \u2013 and features additional custom graphics and special interior trim<br \/>\n*It\u2019s the only example built with a Turbo 400 three-speed automatic transmission.<\/p>\n<p>The top is fully operational, although it must be up when racing, per NHRA rules.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe COPO Camaro program has been a special program and there\u2019s not a better way to close out the 2012 racing season than with the final \u2013 and most unique \u2013 one of the production run,\u201d said Jim Campbell, GM U.S. vice president of Performance Vehicles and Motorsports. \u201cChevrolet is proud to once again partner with the American Heart Association at Barrett-Jackson for the sale of this COPO Camaro convertible. It will make a great race car or collector vehicle for a lucky bidder, who will be buying a piece of history.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am also happy to announce that due to strong customer demand we will produce another run of 69 COPO Camaros for 2013. More than 3,000 hand-raisers expressed interest in buying a COPO after we introduced the car at SEMA last year. We are excited to support these grassroots motorsports enthusiasts in their Stock Eliminator and Super Stock drag racing efforts,\u201d said Campbell.<\/p>\n<p>The last 2012 COPO Camaro is powered by the COPO 327 engine that features a 4.0L Whipple supercharger, for an NHRA-certified output of 550 horsepower. The 2012 COPO Camaros were also available with a supercharged 327 engine featuring a smaller, 2.9-liter supercharger and a naturally aspirated 427 engine. All of the engines were assembled at GM\u2019s unique Performance Build Center, in Wixom, Mich., where the LS7 and LS9 production engines for the Corvette Z06 and Corvette ZR1, respectively, are built, along with select Chevrolet Performance crate engines.<\/p>\n<p>All COPO Camaro were built by hand starting with hardware from the Oshawa assembly plant that manufactures regular-production Camaros, including the same \u201cbody in white\u201d body shells racers can purchase from Chevrolet Performance to build their own dedicated race car. Each was fitted with an NHRA-approved roll cage and other safety equipment, along with racing chassis and suspension components \u2013 including a unique solid rear axle system in place of a regular-production Camaro\u2019s independent rear axle. The cars rolled off the line wearing lightweight Bogart racing wheels and Hoosier racing tires.<\/p>\n<p>Although only 69 production models were built for 2012, many of the fundamental components used to create the cars \u2013 including all of the hand-assembled racing engines \u2013 are available from Chevrolet Performance and the licensed aftermarket manufacturers who supplied them. They are listed in a special COPO section of the new 2013 Chevrolet Performance catalog, which debuted at the SEMA Show and is now available from Chevrolet dealers or by ordering online at chevroletperformance.com.<\/p>\n<p>Also available from Chevrolet Performance is a \u201cbuild book,\u201d which provides an overview of the cars\u2019 assembly process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot everyone could purchase a COPO Camaro production model in 2012, but we are making it easier to build one from the ground up,\u201d said Campbell. \u201cFrom the body in white to the COPO crate engines, we offer the parts and a build book to replicate these quick race cars in your garage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Racing enthusiasts who are interested in more information on the COPO program \u2013 including registering their interest in one of the 2013 COPO Camaros \u2013can go to www.chevroletperformance.com to sign up for COPO Camaro updates through the Fuel online newsletter. They can also follow the latest COPO information at theblock.com \u2013 the online automotive community powered by Chevrolet Performance.<\/p>\n<p>Story by Carfolio.com<\/p>\n<p>See full\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/2012-chevrolet-copo-camaro-convertible-gallery\/\">2012 Chevrolet COPO Camaro Convertible Gallery<\/a><\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2012_Chevrolet_COPOCamaroConvertible-0-1536.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2012_Chevrolet_COPOCamaroConvertible-0-1536.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"2012 Chevrolet COPO Camaro Convertible\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2012_Chevrolet_COPOCamaroConvertible-0-1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2012_Chevrolet_COPOCamaroConvertible-0-1536-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2012_Chevrolet_COPOCamaroConvertible-0-1536-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2012_Chevrolet_COPOCamaroConvertible-0-1536-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2012_Chevrolet_COPOCamaroConvertible-0-1536-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2012_Chevrolet_COPOCamaroConvertible-0-1536-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2012_Chevrolet_COPOCamaroConvertible-0-1536-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2012_Chevrolet_COPOCamaroConvertible-0-1536-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2012_Chevrolet_COPOCamaroConvertible-0-1536-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2012_Chevrolet_COPOCamaroConvertible-0-1536-1400x933.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>\r\n                The final 2012 COPO Camaro is one of two convertibles and the only one of the 69-car run painted Inferno Orange Metallic.
