that dark colored MP car that looks like a COPO 427 Camaro was discussed a few times over the years, it is believed to be a MP customer car.
here is a post from Marty back when he was doing the Motion book
"In 1970 I photographed a plain
jane (it may have been dark blue or green, no stripes) 1969 427 Camaro (not SS
or RS) with a bench seat, column shift auto trans being transformed into a
Phase III Camaro at Motion. It was a customer-owned car and the owner was Marc
Cohen. Car had 1970 Missouri license plates. It has small Phase III stickers on
it. Rear gearing was 4.56 and Joel also installed a Hone OD. It may have even
been a COPO car that was being upgraded. Joel never did any COPO cars, but this
was a car the owner brought it. I used it to illustrate a Hone installation
in CARS magazine.
Any info about the car, Marc Cohen, etc., would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Marty "
