Baldwin COPO

[Lee Stewart]

That's interesting - a Baldwin Chevrolet COPO. I asked Joel Rosen why he didn't take advantage of the COPO program in 1969 - why was he still converting L78s into L72s. He told me he had no idea the program existed.

There is more then one.
And they were ordered early.
I think there were at least 10 COPOs ordered by Baldwin Motion.

The top and bottom photos look to be Bob McDonald COPOs that may have had the Motion treatment. The middle car is not a COPO, it’s a Motion shop car (SS 427 conversion) that was displayed at the NY auto show and then later sold to Brooklyn Heavy.

Its a COPO 9561

Heres a Picture of Passionate Persimmon / Brooklyn Wild Pumpkin.
And she is a COPO 9561 probably a COPO 9511 also.
Today she has Endura Bumper.
Mach 1 mirrors is painted and are going to be assembled this spring.

How can you be sure your car is the same as the Baldwin Motion car pictured? Has Joel Rosen authenticated it? Also, wasn’t your car originally blue? That would mean Motion did a full color change on a brand new car in 1969. Joel Rosen and Martyn Schorr have both explicitly stated that Motion never ordered COPOs for their 427 super car conversions so I’m just a little confused how it could be a double COPO.

Yes she was Glacier Blue when she left the plant but was painted Orange and had Passionate Persimmons written along side of it.
But before the auto show it was painted orange again but with black Hockey stick.
You can look at the hockey stick close to the bumper.
She also have Brooklyn Wild Pumpkin, Heavy, Heavys Camaro. NHRA Champion written that shows through the paint.
I have pictures when they painted it and it also shows Pats Speed Center written in Gold.
I have talked to Martyn Schoor.
