This ban stemmed from a late 1950s agreement that prohibited Detroit automakers from publicly endorsing corporate racing activity. The ban forced Chevrolet to discontinue over-the-counter performance packages. Don Yenko and Fred Gibbs both approached Chevrolet for a package that would allow them to sell drag-ready Camaros.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/319953759_181980584499067_754624978460834655_n-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-546906\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/319953759_181980584499067_754624978460834655_n-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/319953759_181980584499067_754624978460834655_n-1.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/319953759_181980584499067_754624978460834655_n-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/319953759_181980584499067_754624978460834655_n-1-820x1024.jpg 820w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/319953759_181980584499067_754624978460834655_n-1-80x100.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/319953759_181980584499067_754624978460834655_n-1-770x962.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/319953759_181980584499067_754624978460834655_n-1-293x366.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Chevrolet used its COPO system to fulfill the orders, which resulted in the creation of two different COPO Camaros. Yenko&#8217;s COPO 9561 was essentially a Camaro fitted with the Corvette&#8217;s solid-lifter L72 V8 engine. Gibbs&#8217; COPO 9560 had an all-aluminum engine, the ZL-1, specifically created for drag racing, costing more than a base Camaro. The COPO Camaros were successful at the drag strip, but GM did not lift the displacement ban, so the second-generation Camaro did not get the 427 V8.<\/p>\n<p><a
