Note that it's a factory 396 car (emblem) and not a converted 350 car. Looks like Joel Rosen himself leaning in the passenger door. Any guesses as to how much his Motion T-shirt would fetch on eBay today? Think: Feeding frenzy.

Skinny Cragars rule.

its got a 327 gas cap, non ss..

[427TJ]

Yet they called it an "SS 427."

The first thing that was taken off cars back then by collectors (5 fingered kind) were the SS Gas Caps. Would like to see what the cowl tag on this car read to be sure. Or depending on the build date, did all SS's receive the SS cap??

[427TJ]

My guess was that it was either a L-35 or L-78 car to begin with. I think the front fender SS emblems have been removed from this car too, perhaps they went in the parts bin along with the gas cap. They probably just removed the SS emblems from the car when they modified it for strip use. No wait--perhaps it was a rare '67 COPO with the big-block but no SS package! Just kidding. Note the stinger hood.

Redid the article so its easier to read

supercar kid, there is one known special order paint 67 z28. It is hugger orange, and i know of no stripe delete 67 z28's. But i was also recently told 67 z28's were also built in antwerp, belgium. Roger

I'm just having trouble figuring out the seats in that thing, are they aftermarket or what..certainly not 67standard or deluxe ones I have???

[427TJ]

Maybe they're Corvette seats? No, perhaps they're ultra-rare Phase III seats! Yeah, that's it!

I think we're going to have to classify this car as a real rarity.

Instead of starting with a factory 396 Camaro (clearly too expensive), Motion went with the lo-buck 327 car to save money and the hassle of removing the SS gas cap and fender SS emblems. Then they swapped in a complete driveline front to back (cheaper than just swapping a 396 for a 427), put "Impala" 427 emblems on it and went racing. They must have known that in 37 years there'd be guys analyzing photos of the car as if it were the Zapruder* film. "Frame 134 clearly shows the emblems as having come from a '66 Impala."

(*Abraham Zapruder was the fellow who got JFK's assasination on film.) (JFK was John F. Kennedy.) (He was the president from 1960-63.) (Yes, of the United States.)

Okay, okay, I'm just kidding around--not trying to "flame" anyone. Someone on this forum must be in contact with Mr. Rosen. Perhaps he can be asked about this "mystery" Camaro.

Oh, and Oswald acted alone. (In my opinion.)
