I say this because Brooklyn Heavy had a 2nd gen Camaro race car before the (white with red blocks) Camaro (I think)

also the (white with red blocks) Camaro picture looks like mid 1970s era set up 69 Camaro.

The 69 Camaro body became a popular build in the mid 1970s for some drag classes

an example is the Motion red white blue Camaro from mid 1970s

Brooklyn Heavy had a lot of cars in the 1970's and maybe he saved or bought back his 69 Camaro but maybe he bought another 69 race car

1975 Heavy was put behind bars and Centerline started produce Wheels in 1970

Ronnie Locke posing with one of his Camaro’s in front Bob McDonald’s speed shop on Kemp’s Rd, 1969
Another special build Motion COPO 427/450 hp , best ET 11.14

That was one of first 69 COPO cars from motion performance that was supposed to be shipped to Europe .
Ronnie didn't like the stinger hood so it got changed to a scooped hood .
It was a Motion Supercar . 427/450 hp and turned 10.91 with Joel Rosen at the wheel at Drag City upon delivery on an open trailer from NY . .
Ronnie turned 11.31 same day same car .

The Chevelle has to be a Shop Car.
But I will ask the Nova Scotia Guys.

Probably just Bob McDonald cars brought down for a little motion treatment. I can’t imagine a Chevrolet dealer buying his cars from another dealer out of his country

The Garnet Red one that was supposed to be shipped to Europe make me believe is a Baldwin Motion Camaro.
Dont Think that Bob McDonalds shipped Cars over to Europé but Motion did.
