Re: DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa
The story goes that the original owner, Mr Tatilian, wanted a rallye green '68 Camaro and Cormier Chev was reluctant to dealer trade with Dana Chev for the last remaining rallye green Camaro on their lot. [I think rallye green was a Camaro "ONLY" color for Chevrolet in 1968]. Mr Tatilian, with his co-signer, made a deal with Cormier Chev during the summer of 1968, then dropped it at Dana Chev after saving enough to pay-off the bank note and sponsor the 427 conversion in spring of 1969.
My wife and I were married in 1968 at a church 4 blocks from Cormier Chev dealership in Long Beach, CA.
