If I had to guess. Joel wanted it to have some psychedelic paint so it would stand out at the NY auto show. It also has numbers painted all over it together with Passion Persimmon. He probably dident like it as it turned out. So they painted it Orange again but with D90 stripes

Look at the paint

In the older photo above it looks like the marker lights were painted orange. Also appears the stripe from the auto show passed through the fender emblem where now it doesn't and of course the stinger stripe is now gone. I assume the car has been painted orange again since the auto show photo?

Look again at the old Pictures.
And you can see numbers and letters.
This Camaro have been painted multi times.
When Heavy had it they painted it a couple times a year

She had Stinger Hood at NY Auto Show.
And when Heavy bought her it got Stinger Hood

Just so I am understanding you correctly. This car was originally a COPO ordered by Baldwin and then converted by Motion or was a 396 car ordered by Baldwin and then converted by Motion? Sorry if I am dense just wanna make sure I am understanding the history of the car.

Ordered COPO 9561 converted to SS427 Phase lll
