67 (YENKO) baldwin motion identification question

[berger]

hi, my name is matt i'm a new member and i am attempting to restore my third 1st gen. camaro. I purchased it in kingston ,Ma. about ten years ago- the body still looks new,it looks like a plain jane 327 rs coupe, but its got frontend discs (original) a big swaybar, a crazy looking cross member, line lock near the steering pump on the cowl, 4spd,and posi removed from car- motor long gone but man I purchased it from said he bought it off local vette dealer who took a 427 out of it for a drag car, car came up from new york. Both of us at the time new nothing about camaros with 427's in them so I never knew to research about motion cars till now, I have the original registration which shows the car registered in amittyville ny, I don't know how close that is to Baldwin chevrolet, car has never been out of a trailer or garage its whole life- its way too good a shape for the northeast, also the heaterbox looks original and the hoses are way over on the passenger side, I have an original 327 camaro and its hoses are in the middle and it didn't come with anything this has underneath, also the car seems to have a traction bar bracket under the passenger floor but no bar , I just started reading about this in some books but I'm lost, this ain't an ss- it has no badging or ss hood, but all components are orignal (flat hood)and the car has bigblock or z28 vintage braking and suspension parts, before I restore it , I like to know what it is-what should I look for, My other two are a 327 67 coupe and a 69 ss 396 w/ protecto plate both I restored myself from the ground up so I familiar with both's components and where to look to verify but I can't figure this one out. any help? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

It could also be an L30/M20 car. When combined with those RPO's several SS components were also used.

just filled out bio, I got a 1 and 2 year old hanging on me right know so I might have to bale from the forum at any time, Its not an L30/M20 because of the heater box, mine has the hoses near the passenger fender so the bigblock would fitalso on z28s, I looked at the photos on camaro.org it shows the L30 heaterbox hoses in the middle of car like all 327s and 350s. I have areal 327 I already restored and heaterbox is in the middle ,this isn't. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]

Could you please post your cowl tag info? This will also help tell you what you have. Vin number could also help if it was a 67 yenko. Roger

hi, and thanks for your help- can't give you the cowl tag, because its not original, and the vin tag on the door jamb is gone someone wanted them real bad to rip those rivets out. I cleand up the top of cowl where the vin is embosed starts w/ 7N then looks like 229711 could be 717 or 777 I'll have to keep cleaning it. thanks , by the way it has vintage traction bars bolted to both monoleafs still in car.

car,s cowl is rivted but loose and the lower left corner is broken off, ( probably pryed), color code says deepwater blue w/ blue interior , car is original red -under the front fenders along cowl where it joins up to door hinges, started scratching white coat of paint off all body parts, they sprayed right over original paint w/ white coat has to be 15yrs old at least. I keep finding red underneath everything, keep on scratching I hit sheetmetal. Ever see copper tubing used from master cylinder to valve and linelock ?(old).

hey roger if my cowl is corret its 2B 3sk 5B- I know no 4 code but this car blows the doors off my 69 ss 396 w/orig motor and protecto plate I stole for 2500$, got a 402 set up for racing for free as part of deal, wife made him dump it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]
