another '68 SS427?

[427TJ]

I first discovered B-M cars in an east coast Camaro magazine special published in 1982. In that speecial was an article on the so-called "discovery" of an original '68 B-M Phase III Camaro but the photos used for that article were the same ones from the January 1969 "Mindbender" article I posted in a separate thread.

I remember reading that 1982 article and immediately wanting a Stinger hood and SS 427 emblems for my '67. I got the fever and wanted my own B-M look-alike. ("Clone" hadn't been invented yet.)

My guess is that same 1982 magazine prompted others to modify their Camaros and this blue '68 in the circa-1983 magazine could be a look-alike (clone). No Stinger hood, SS 427 emblems on the spoiler and front fenders, etc., all lean toward clone and not genuine B-M car. Maybe it was real and when it was restored back then the emblems were incorrectly placed. Only Rocky, and I suppose Joel Rosen, knows for sure.

No one probably cared in 1983 whether such a car was "correct" or not, they just wanted the bad-ass "SS 427" look. That blue '68 does look good with the Cragars, jacked stance and big meats.

It'd be nice if Rocky would suddenly appear on this forum and explain the car for us!
