Man drove 11 hours to look at classic Chevrolet Camaro but found something incredibly rare inside

A man drove 11 hours to look at a classic Chevy Camaro and found out his lengthy trip was more than worth it.

He was expecting to find a rare and valuable car, but he found something better than that.

As it turns out, the car in question is a rare Copo Camaro.

Only a handful of these still exist.

An ultra-rare Chevy Camaro

The guy behind the Backyard Barn Finds YouTube channel regularly travels long distances to find cars that he thinks are worth it.

A while back, he traveled to Georgia to check out a barn filled with 30 iconic classic cars.

This one is arguably even better, though.

The car in question is a 1969 Chevy COPO Camaro.

Only around 1,010 COPO Camaros were ever built in total, including all models and all years.

Many of those Camaros were either lost or destroyed through the years so to find one in salvageable condition is more than rare.

Although – to be fair – we’re not sure whether this can be saved.

What is a COPO Camaro?

COPO stands for Central Office Production Order.

COPO was essentially a system for customers to order fleet vehicles, such as police cars or township vehicles.

These cars would usually come specific color combos, option combinations or special equipment.

Chevy built around 1,010 COPOs in total, and they’ve now become the holy grail for collectors.

Even experienced collectors and barn find hunters can’t believe their eyes when they find one.

The common problem these barn-find hunters and muscle car collectors have is that most of these COPO Camaros are in terrible shape, and when they’re not, they usually go for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
