Back in the late sixties the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153muscle car\u00e2\u20ac\u009d was selling so fast that factories couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t keep up with orders. Back then the corporation set targets for certain production runs based on orders from years of experience. Unfortunately, they included a lot of the cars that people weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t buying just to fill the lots and keep the factories working. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s where the COPO (Corporate Office Production Order) order came into play. Those production orders came straight from executive offices for personal cars or the top dealers with connections to the corporation. To fill the void in their lot offerings, dealers would order \u00e2\u20ac\u0153street sleepers\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Those were classic muscle cars in every sense of the word. Stripped of outward emblems and paint schemes that would give it away \u00e2\u20ac\u201c all the money for options went into the engine and maybe a little tweak on the suspension.<\/p>\n

For the modeler this is a Revell\u00c2\u00ae 1969 Nova<\/span>\u00e2\u201e\u00a2<\/span> COPO 1\/25 scale model kit. There are 111 pieces molded in white, chrome and clear rated a skill level 2. It has <\/span>a nice decal sheet with engine labels, speedo gauges <\/span>and name plate emblems and redline or white wall tire options. A clear direction sheet with good views and options are included. This review includes some great information that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll need to consider to get a good fit for the windows glass and some finishing tips to really make this model stand out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Revell\u00c2\u00ae has hit a home run with this kit.\u00c2\u00a0 This is an excellent kit for a new modeler or a simple weekend build.\u00c2\u00a0 It would also be a great kit for a kid.\u00c2\u00a0 There is a lot of potential for detailing for the more experienced builder but it looks great straight out of the box too.\u00c2\u00a0 Skill level 2 is right on the mark.\u00c2\u00a0 Total build time for this was about 30 hours over a couple weekends.<\/span><\/p>\n
