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. Last edited by GotGrunt; 03-14-2022 at 11:28 AM. |

Now with everyone showing their cards, it's conclusive it's not a Baldwin car, and most probably an L-78 car from the factory converted to 427 by Brahms Chevrolet in NJ. Also seems highly unlikely it could be the Motion demo car from the auto show given this information and the firewall picture showing no factory piercings for ZL-2 hood referenced in the magazine article.
Can you post some photos showing the lettering you referenced from Heavy's ownership? I know Heavy had a fleet of orange cars, but this one is clearly not the Motion demo car. Regardless, certainly a very cool and rare 427 dealer car. Seems a bit more digging perhaps could uncover some interesting history. Last edited by COPO; 03-14-2022 at 01:04 PM. |

Based on the documents now posted by a member, it's clear it is not a factory COPO 427 car, but instead is a dealer transplanted 427 car which is still quite cool. |

Great detective work and thank you to: COPO, GOTGRUNT, KurtS and the others involved in determining the real pedigree and history!!!. Interesting that the true history of the car had been known and posted on the site in 2008. It seems weird that the owner didn't know or didn't want to know the true history.

Here is a picture of Carleen’s car when it was still blue. I’m not sure what year it was taken but that appears to be a late 1970s dodge camper next to it.

When it was first on ebay back in 2005, the warranty void doc was with it. I've never seen a doc like that, kinda hokey if you ask me. Brahms didn't do that kind of work and why would a dealer write that up? You'd just mark the invoice. And they even had a stamp made up??
The axle was reputedly a BV, then a BM (with no date stamp). Never saw a pic of it.

This thread gets more and more interesting with additional pictures and documents surfacing. It seems more indepth research is needed on this X22 Camaro to understand it's true history.

It was I who gave that story in 2006 to Kurt Sonen based on what they thought about the car. Im the one who posted most of the pictures of her. The picture when she is Blue is from -94.
