Yes, when I bought the car in 1984, I was in touch with the dealer who said he ordered the car from GM that way, then Arons went thru the engine to run NHRA. In the paperwork, came Aron's blueprint check-list and the bill-of-sale dated 4/30/74, from Schmidt that said "As-is sale SS-427 Camaro"
$2600.00 cash

I had posted a pic on 8-18 in 70's style paint and graphics att. 153997 showing the car with Barrie Pooles Mustang and Don Grotheer's Cuda. That shot was at the first Gatornationals in 1970.

Jeff I have the paint and I will find the time. Ol Yeller looks good with the graphics. It’s always been
and always will be a race car. It’s just a race car with mufflers on it now…..

------Im sure you have mentioned "Bob Schmidt Chevrolet". If you have also told us the location of the dealer forgive me, but can you remind us??? I spent an awful lot of time at both Norwalk and Dragway 42 as well as other more southern Ohio tracks and haunted several different Ohio dealerships as well. Went to school at Ohio U in Athens and spent may weekends roaming all over Ohio to see what different dealerships had in stock in 1967/8/9. During that time period I rarely passed by a Chevy dealership without turning in and seeing what they had. I remember one in Washington Courthouse that had a large number of Hi-Po cars, but cant remember the name.
--------All that said your 69 has a fairly memorable paint scheme and although there is something familiar about it I cant say posatively that I have seen the car...........Bill S

$2600!!! Man, even in 1974 with the gas crunch underway that seems like a heck of a deal. By 1978 when I was in the '67-'69 Camaro hunt (in California) I couldn't get close to nice SS or Z cars for anything below $2500. I should have been shopping among used race cars.
