It's about time you brought that car out of hiding Jeff.
I saw the day2 post and your car is a perfect example of one.

A perfect example of WHAT?? That's what we want to know. Is it supposed to be a COPO, or an SS427 that was built "day 2"? Or, better yet, is he claiming it to be a one off 427 SS car built at the factory??

Doesn't the term "SS 427," as used here on the forum, imply a Baldwin-Motion conversion car?

(I do realize that Chevrolet built SS 427-badged Impalas in 1968 and that's where Joel Rosen got the emblems for his "Phase" conversion cars and that dealers also swapped 427s into Chevelles at the customer's request in '66, etc., and re-badged them with 427 emblems.)

if its a real 427 car it must have had the 427 emblems added at a later time, they do look great though!!!!!

427tj is right they are the emblems that motion used.

It's a perfect example of 427 Camaro built when most all of us never knew who was doing what at GM with these muscle cars.. I'll soon post what the car looked like when I bought it in 1984. MAN...was it a typical race car "panel paint job....AND UGLY TOO! lololol) All I've done in 20 years was had it painted in 1985. It's got that GM smell...and everything works. The doors close with that unique sound unless you like to listen to the annoying "door open" buzzer! Thanks, Jeff

Great photo from the old days! There they are again: big-n-little Cragars! Nice rake. I can almost hear the rump-rump of the Rat with a solid 320 duration, 500 lift cam. Are those Pos-A-Traction Torque Twisters on the rear? Those were cool tires with a nice letter pattern.

DAY 2!

So you are saying it is a factory built SS 427 camaro? This car might be as rare as the 1968 Z/28 convertible. No matter what.....I like it! (How about your profile Jeff?)
