Default Re: Joe Oldham's '69 SS-427 Camaro

They did this all the time. Oldham's Camaro was used in several articles not always about his specific car. Cars Magazine used 1968 photos of Joel Rosen's '68 SS 427 Camaro in articles as late as 1982 when they published a "garage find" story about a different '68 SS 427 Camaro in a special edition magazine. In the '82 article they even implied that the photos were of the "garage find" car, when in fact they clearly were original '68 photos.

What kills me is that Oldham kept his '69 in a frickin' open car port at his apartment building! It got stolen? Well NO SH*T!!! I think Oldham even admits that by parking it in the car port it was only a matter of time until it got stolen. Someone who was there (maybe Oldham in one of his stories) said that B-M cars were practicaly number one on the stolen muscle car list in those days. They'd get stolen and parted-out. No wonder real B-M cars are so rare today.
