Carleen, what makes you think Heavy owned the car? The 1994 picture looks like the original blue color of the car and it also has the stock "SS" hood. Where as the Motion demo car later sold to Heavy looks like it was a factory orange car with a factory ZL-2 hood.

Also, since the paperwork posted for this car shows it is out of Brahms Chevrolet in NJ, seems further unlikely there is a Motion, or a Baldwin Chevrolet connection.

Too bad Dan P. isn't around to explain his thoughts on the history that he uncovered.

Regardless, seems like a very cool car and most likely a dealer transplanted 427, so certainly quite rare and desirable.

Yes I can.I also have som old pictures when they have sanding down the paint.
But at this time it doesnt matter what I show or say when I have all the Gurus against me.
Dave Belk had this Camaro before me, He bought it 2005 from ebay. They talked about it at Detroit muscle and was saying that it was sponcered by Brahms Chevy. That was the info I gave Kurt S in 2006. It have a BM rear end and the date is scraped off by exhaust system.
Its an old Race car an it has been painted many times. In that Picture when it is Blue its like Le Mans Blue not Glacier.
Im not that stupid that I telling you that I have Heavys Camaro if I was not 100% sure.

Heavy had multiple Camaros. We’re just saying that from what we’re seeing, this is not the Baldwin Motion demo car. FWIW, you haven't shown any of the pics of the old lettering. All the photos that were posted where you say you can see numbers and letters, I don’t see a thing. Also you said the firewall had 427 and M22 written, I don’t see that either. If you have better pictures then post them up so we can put this to rest.

Regardless of who you are calling an expert there some of us that would still like to see the proof of what you have. Nothing wrong with posting photos at this point regardless the outcome. One way or another the true history on the car will be unveiled.. I still would like to see how you drew all the dots and lines to come to your conclusion.
