If it was the same orange SS RS car in the Super Car magazine article that Marty wrote, then Motion did the transplant. If shipping records show it was delivered to Baldwin, then good chance it is a BM car, but more history and research is needed.
The article by Marty states that the Motion demo car had factory ZL2 option as well.

IMHO, I agree with you, this car was most likely ordered as an SS L78 and then had a 427 transplant at Brahms Chevrolet in NJ. It doesn’t appear to be the Motion demo or a COPO.
