Green Meanie
My car has one of those long, odd Vietnam war stories. The original owner was in Vietnam and sent his mother the money to put a down payment on a new SS427 Motion Camaro. Something happened (injured in action) and he couldn't get back to the states by June to pick up the car. Finally arrived back a week before Christmas and went to New York to get his car. They sold his car thinking he was never coming back- just as happened to other guys back then.
Understandable all things considered. I was told there were only 2 cars that could be converted to 427 status, this green 4spd and one other /automatic. He chose the 4spd.
Because it was a small block and he had to have a big block Motion changed it to be more like the car he wanted. Conversion took a couple of weeks, and he took delivery I think bill of sale says Jan. 13, 1970. (Will have to check, memory misses a gear every now and then).
I had developed/still have health issues and the car has been sitting under the rear porch since the 70s. I have not looked at the car in probably 4or 5 years, just to notice that it is still there. Wish I never got sick....
