Johnny Lightning Diecast COPO Cars Unveiled Celebrating the Cars of Matt Avery's COPO book

The official packaging and final renders of the upcoming limited edition Johnny Lightning diecasts featuring the cars of Matt Avery's award-winning book, COPO, have been shown for the first time in a new video released by Round2.

All twelve of the pieces in the set debuted and include such highlights as the Daytona Yellow 1969 COPO Camaro ZL1 ordered by Berger Chevrolet in Grand Rapids, MI, a 1968 Yenko Camaro in Corvette Bronze and a Forest Green 1970 Yenko Deuce.
