"Here was his follow up to questioning of how he came up with one of eight.

i do not get upset,i like cars and questions,the 1 out of 8 is there on the pruduction numbers have you broken them down? lets do it,total rpo Z-27 packages or ss for 72 6,562, total rpo L48 Engine 350-200hp(included with SS) 5,584 rpo LS3 Engine 396-240hp (SS) 970 deduct 5584 plus 970 from 6562 you have 8 left all this 8 will be ss with the Z-27 on the cowl tag,specifying the ss package but with the extra or the deductions that were order by central order production office (COPO), i did not go with that spoiler that is the one that came with the car also the rims,again this could be the added or changes they made to this 8 cars i have not found or there is no other information on any books telling me what they had or not or if all 8 where the same just that they were 8 built different,also correct 3 piece would be for a normal SS but this 8 where special order that could be one of the changes,the factory holes are not there for the 3 piece spoiler but yes it had the ones for the 1 piece,believe me i did not know all of this and even that this 8 cars existed till i bump into a old fellow that had a motor home for sale in the west coast FL that i went to see that has back in texas one of this 8 he's the one who showed me all,i drove to naples to see the motor home and took the camaro since it drives good,he look at it and when i open the hood the cowl tag was painted,he stared at it for a long time and ask me if he could removed some of the paint istanlly he call his wife screaming honey look i found another one of the 8 he had so far seen 5,2 back home texas,1 in california 1 in NY.now the one he has and the one in NY are black from factory another copo auction black was not offer in 72 so he explain the whole deal to me and told me where to find the info,also his and the one in NY have the 1 piece spoiler,i never did look at the cowl tag when i purchase the car i purchased it because it was in excellent cond and figured i could make a buck or two,thanks"..........
