Oshawa-built GTO Judges actually have WT1 (Judge) and M20 or M21 stamped on the trim tag. Seen L34 on some Oshawa Chevelle trim tags too.

Yes, up through 1970, they coded all the pertinent RPO codes on the trim tag. I’ve bought cars without ordering the paperwork first just by looking at the trim tag. I figured they kept meticulous records of cars crossing the border in either direction, but still great that you can get the VVS report for non-Oshawa built cars, even if it’s missing some production figures.

That makes perfect sense.

Tiny dealerships in Canada were getting COPOS and a connected east coast (NEW YORK!) dealer doesn't know about it?? Hahahaha! C'mon.

I hope this yellow car turns out to be something special, sure seems like it might be - best of luck!

Totally agree with this.

It would be interesting to talk to Joel and Marty about the relationship with the Baldwin Auto Dealership.

They worked together to sell the SS427 cars but at the same time Baldwin sold their own SS350 SS396 and Z/28 cars. Baldwin also had a parts department that sold hi po parts.
They didn't do a lot of national advertising like Motion did.

Baldwin Chevrolet and Motion Performance were both painted on the drag cars as sponsors

Baldwin may have just sold the COPO 427 cars on their own.

More Baldwin COPOs?

There are known/found COPOs from Baldwin which spent time at the Motion shop.

I can ad one more COPO Motion.
Passionate Persimmon demo Camaro RS is a 01B COPO 9561
Thats the one that was sold to Brooklyn Heavy, Brooklyn Wild Pumpkin.

I believe both of these photos are the Motion demo and Brooklyn Heavy Wild Pumpkin

I read what it says on the Firewall.
