Here's an old magazine photo taken on front of Baldwin Chev back in the day. One car has a Stinger hood with "4-2-7" emblems and the second car has a SS hood. No sidepipes.

Here's another magazine photo taken probably on the same day. Joel Rosen in the middle and Dave Bean on the right. Don't know who the other guy is. Maybe Mr. Baldwin? Note the Stinger hood and "427" emblems on the scoop.

Here's the first (I think) '67 Motion SS 427 conversion car on the cover of the June '67 Cars Magazine. Tahoe Turquoise, SS hood, "427" Vette emblems on the hood, began life as a 350 car. The article discussed the L88 transplant under its hood.

Some of the '67 "Motion" cars seen today have the '68 Impala style SS 427 emblems pasted on all over. Not saying that they aren't real Motion cars but those '68 "SS 427" emblems tend to go high-dollar on eBay. Yes, guys could have gone back to Motion, etc., in '68 with their '67s and had the '68 "status emblems" installed.
Sure would like to hear from Joel Rosen on such things. Too bad he doesn't offer a "Here's the truth" symposium at the SC reunion. That'd be worth the price of admission! |

If you were fortunate enough to be able to attend SCR6 then you could have asked Joel yourself. He did answer a number of questions, although I don't recall anyone asking him about emblems. He did talk about a ZL-1 powered 69 Motion Camaro.

I gotta' attend the next SC reunion. How cool would it be to meet Joel Rosen in person. Oh, and I just sent for the SCR 6 photo CD the other day.
