If no cowl induction from factory, then not a COPO and a BE coded rear dated to the car would also be helpful to see. As I mentioned, it was most likely a X22 L-78 equipped car and then had a 427 transplant.

If it was the same orange SS RS car in the Super Car magazine article that Marty wrote, then Motion did the transplant. If shipping records show it was delivered to Baldwin, then good chance it is a BM car, but more history and research is needed.

The article by Marty states that the Motion demo car had factory ZL2 option as well.

IMHO, I agree with you, this car was most likely ordered as an SS L78 and then had a 427 transplant at Brahms Chevrolet in NJ. It doesn’t appear to be the Motion demo or a COPO.

Here is a picture of Carleen’s car when it was still blue. I’m not sure what year it was taken but that appears to be a late 1970s dodge camper next to it.
